Man what a beautiful album this is. So refreshing. Came out in July '07. St. Vincent is Annie Clark. She's worked with Glenn Branca's 100 Guitar Orchestra, she was the bassist and backing vocalist for Polyphonic Spree's _Fragile Army_, and she was in Sufjan Stevens's touring band. She's a multi-instrumentalist and provided many aspects of instrumentation on _Marry Me_. People are comparing her to Kate Bush, Feist, and Regina Spektor. The music is diverse with lush orchestrations. It's just a really fun album. It's happy and sad. It's weird. It's definitely got some strange lyrics. I like that though. I've given this a lot of listens over the week and I remember on the first play thinking, "Wow, this is pretty good." It is. Sometimes I grow tired of music like this pretty quickly. This album seems kind of special though. She also doesn't come across as overtly pretentious. A little bit of pretension never hurt anybody anyway. Buy 30 of copies and pass em out to your friends. It's good stuff.
