Description
Annie Clark made her recorded debut as St. Vincent in 2007 with Marry Me, quickly becoming regarded as one of the most innovative and fascinating presences in modern music. Her subsequent albums would include Actor 2009, Strange Mercy 2011, her selftitled fourth album and winner of the 2014 GRAMMY for Best Alternative Album. In 2017, her fifth album MASSEDUCTION would break St. Vincent into the U.S. and UK top 10s and win two more GRAMMYs Best Rock Song for its title track, and Best Recording Package. 2021s Daddys Home found St. Vincent channeling the hungover glamor and gritty sepiatoned soundtrack of 1970s downtown NYC to an ecstatic reception, ultimately winning her a second Best Alternative Album GRAMMY. Following a 20212022 global tour that reaffirmed St. Vincents status as one of live music039s preeminent forces with headline appearances at the likes of the Hollywood Bowl and Radio City Music Hall, Clark would begin work on album number seven Her first fully selfproduced album having coproduced every one of her previous efforts, All Born Screaming is St. Vincent at her most primal. Featuring Clark leading a curated group of rippers through the brawny Broken Man, the mordant catwalk sashay through the deafening assault of selfloathing that is Big Time Nothing, the sublime, elegiac earworm Sweetest Fruit,34 All Born Screaming is equal parts spiritual desolation and rapturous acceptance. If youre born screaming, thats a great sign, says Clark, because it means youre breathing. Youre alive. My god. Its joyous. And then its also a protest. Were all born in protest in a certain way. Its terrifying to be alive, its ecstatic to be alive. Its everything.
