You don’t realise how important arrangement is to songwriting until you realise that Grizzly Bear’s Two Weeks and Menomena’s INTIL have the same chord progression.
(It’s I - iii - V, by the way.)

AcousticSolo version of Human Racing by St. Vincent
Her solo performances are brilliant. Extremely subdued compared to the ones with a backing band - and both styles are great in their own way.
I’d love to see her do a solo version of something like Marrow, actually. It would be interesting to see how she arranged it.

One of the best pieces of music I’ve heard in a long time. I love classically-inspired jazz pieces.
THAT HEAD, MY WORD
I’ll just… leave this here.
OH GOD NEW ST VINCENT NEW ST VINCENT
Strange Mercy, Annie Clark’s 11-song John Congleton-produced followup to Actor, will be out this fall. They recorded the collection at Elmwood Studios in her pre-Manhattan hometown of Dallas, Texas. A press release notes that Strange Mercy finds St. Vincent “redefining the idea of the guitar hero, utilizing the instrument as a pointillist artist might wield a brush. Countless judiciously placed riffs and instrumental flares, each distinct and unique, cohere into grand tableaus.” Interesting.
OH DEAR LORD.
I’m so excited by this. Strange Mercy… What a brilliant album title.
Annie Clark (St. Vincent) is a perfect human being
That is all there is to it. She is. Utterly perfect. Flawless. In every way conceivable.
