St. Vincent says Marry Me

And I suggest all of you to say, I do, to that proposal. Don't be afraid of commitment. This album is absolutely worth it. Annie Clark's brand spankin' new band, St. Vincent is the band I have been waiting for, it feels like.I love female vocals in alternative music. But Annie Clark, not only delivers that dreamy woman lead in her songs but the multi instrumental joy that she contributed to Sufjan Stevens and Polyphonic Spree. Finally stepping into the limelight, she is just marvellous, as if she was born to be the next Tori Amos. I am having a hard time categorizing her music as pop, jazz or alt country or any other genre. She is so unique and just heart felt, makes you feel like you do when you are sitting with a cup of tea by the radiator cuddling in a blanket, watching snow come down.

Do not compare her to Feist who seemingly might have a similar path. Playing with a multi instrumental band such as Broken Social Scene, when Feist went solo, she opted for the simplicity of melody and power of words. Annie Clark on the other hand, creates a rich melody and layers that with angelic lyrics that can almost would overwhelm you at first because of its power and depth.

She is so comfortable in her lyrics and style that it is almost hard to believe that this is her debut album. Marry her and live happily ever after...
