St Vincent 4AD Session

For more info: http://www.4ad.com/sessions/010

Tracklisting:
1. Chloe In The Afternoon
2. Surgeon
3. Strange Mercy
4. Year Of The Tiger

In September of this year, St Vincent took a giant leap forward with the release of third album, Strange Mercy. This time out Annie Clark was to combine her long-celebrated musical virtuosity with ambitious songwriting that ran a gamut of emotional cadences, all the while underpinned by a colourful sense of melody.

Recording these songs live for the first time, St Vincent has performed four tracks from Strange Mercy for the tenth visual installment in the 4AD Session series. Shot at Shangri-La Studios in the heart of the Brooklyn film and photography district in Greenpoint, the session was recorded with Annie's new band, Daniel Mintseris (keys), Toko Yasuda (moog) and Matthew Johnson (drums). Given St Vincent's transgression from the underground to the pop spotlight over the course of three studio albums, it's somewhat fitting that Shangri-La host the session having initially earned its name as a secret spot known only through word of mouth.

Just enjoy the session. And stop comparing. If you don't like her style just move on. It is as easy as that..

You cats hating on my original comment need to cool out. I never meant to "compare" the two. Why were you so quick to judge that i was comparing? That's unfathomable! C'mon people, do really think Lana and Annie are even on the same level, hell even in the same league to be compared? It was a spur-of-the-moment comment. I was tired of seeing Lana in the media and thought St. Vincent should be in the spotlight considering how exquisite her latest record is. Now, let's all enjoy this session!

@bobby666x Lizzie isn't a musician

[drofiend]

Why even compare the two?,,,, Annie is a fucking musician ..... Lizzie(Lana) sings

[killingspree]

@royalecocotte nope Lana Del Ray is young and talented. St Vincent will never be as big her moment in the spotlight has passed.

Just bought a guitar like this on eBay. They were originally sold by Sears and Montgomery Wards for kids swept up by the British invasion. Can't understand why it took decades for a hardware store guitar to work its way into the progressive/alt universe. Or. Yeah. I can see how it might take that long. For the record I have never seen a woman like Annie in Sears.

@royalecocotte Exactly

[royalecocotte]

Lana DEL Rey and Annie Clark are certainly not the same...

St Vincent is an extraordinary guitar player, she's absolutely amazing in gigs, and her songs are truly well written. LDR is a pure marketing product without soul.. Uncomparable ..
