St. Vincent

St. Vincent's new album "Actor" leaked last week and have evaded my music radar until now. I will be giving this leak a digital spin in a few minutes after it finishes downloading. St. Vincent is one of my favorite female vocalists, and she definitely has very good guitar techniques

"Jesus Saves, I Spend" music video from her first album, Marry Me.



Live performance of "Marrow", which is off their new album.

Im about 4 songs in. This album is impressive. Im absolutely loving the production, its at the perfect balance between being labeled too harsh or clean. She's drawing a lot of contemporary influences like Joanna Newsom and Bjork's poppier stuff. Hey songswriting gives me vibes of Grizzly Bear and her mellow but desperate vocals sometimes remind me of Thom Yorke's. She sings so delicately but is backed by distorted guitars and over-amplified horns, making it chaotically refined.
