No one can resist the charm of Annie Clark. Her latest video for "Marrow" directed by Terri Timely from St. Vincent's Actor makes it nearly impossible to take your eyes off Annie's storybook curls and freckles in the sandy dessert. See how I just made a movie reference there? Dang.The video starts with her at someone's grave site (possibly her own?) so it's debatable who is dead or alive. Is sh...

Socke Merde! If only I could have been at this performance. Fortunately, Andrew Bird and St. Vincent will be touring together in the US, but alas! they won't be coming to the west coast. Those on the east coast will get a chance to see them (their dates are below), and I strongly recommend their show.JP's Blog posted the video from Soiree de Poche, which you should definitely take a look.

Okay, okay. White flag. I'll be the first male admit it: Annie Clark (a.k.a. St. Vincent is proof-positive of ye olde time-honored axiom that “Girls Rule, Boys Drool.” She's cool, confident, and funny; she bros down and hangs out with dudes all day for months at a time, she covers The Beatles without fear (or even too much reverence), she releases top-notch records like this year's Actor (TMT

I would like to applaud Jack White for his whole Third Man recording studio/record store/venue/label headquarters setup. It is a terrific idea, and it has allowed him to do some pretty great things over there, like signing little-known blues artists, pressing their records, and helping them with publicity/distribution. But am I the only one who finds it a little odd that an artist like White, w...

I caught the last part of Ms. Clark's set on Austin City Limits on the tube last night. Did not record (drat). Her live performance was first rate, unusual instrumentation (drums, guitar, synth., multiple reed and wind instruments). Think I liked her better live than on her two albums. She sure has a haunting pair of eyes, great stage presence and strong keyboard chops.

St. Vincent, Brooklyn’s sweetheart Annie Clark, has a style that can suit anyone’s fancy. And Actor is a powerful example of an astonishing effort from Clark to develop down right delightful tunes. It’s the warm coffee in the morning. As well as the ecstasy for an exciting night. If “Laughing With A Mouth of Blood” doesn’t make you feel like break-dancing at your closest Starbucks,

Thanks again to our pals at Grandcrew.com! During the Route de Rock Festival in St. Malo, France, they were able to pull St. Vincent away from the madness and captured her giving an amazing solo acoustic performance! Enjoy!

Last time we covered St Vincent it was brought to you from the hallowed confines of the Episcopal church in Austin, Texas, this time it's from a leaky tent in a field in Suffolk. Fortunately St Vincent transcend their immediate surroundings to a place rather more ethereal than either of those locations.

Annie Clarke—stage-named St. Vincent—writes the rarest of love songs, the kind that actually sound a lot like love. Sweet without being cloying, honest but not affected, "All My Stars Aligned" is one such tune from her smashing debut, Marry Me.The gliding arrangement of Clarke's jazz-informed chords and guest pianist Mike Garson's keys recall George Gershwin, of all people. Let's hear your ave

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 comparin...
