Artist: St. Vincent

"Which one of us looks tired? The one in his pyjamas? He always looks like that. But yeah, we are tired. It's a perpetual tiredness." It may not be Zachary Cole Smith that we're here referring to, though he doesn't look quite as he may in his every unblemished and faintly ethereal press shot: sprawled out, his skin soaked in bluish biro faded over whiled away afternoons. No, in the flesh, his is a far more boyish charm; a striking, childish guile. He resembles Link of The Legend of Zelda splattered in NYC thrift store garb, [...]

Say what you will about the Twilight series, but over the course of four films, the soundtracks have given us originals from the likes of Thom Yorke, Grizzly Bear, Lykke Li, Florence and the Machine, and The Black Keys, as well as collaborations between Beck and Bat for Lashes, and Bon Iver and St. Vincent. They’ve constructed a crossroads where fans of critically acclaimed rock and indie and those with bedazzled Team Edward T-shirts meet in the name of music, and the final installment is no exception. The record opens with Passion Pit’s “Where [...]

It's time again to look at those songs we all need most; the ones that make our work day faster. This is the annual Caffeinated Consciousness list for 2012! It is time once again to compile the list obligatory's Caffeinated Consciousness list. Those of us who have to keep [...]

Já mostramos aqui a prévia de algumas das canções que estão na trilha sonora da última (ufa!) parte da saga Crepúsculo – Amanhecer: Parte 2 . Mas agora, a trilha completa está disponível para audição via Pandora. Como nosso querido país não está autorizado a utilizar os serviços do site de hospedagem, o jeito é contar com o Youtube para conferir algumas dessas faixas. No caso, você pode ouvir a boa Where I Come From , do Passion Pit , The Antidote , de St. Vincent e Bittersweet , [...]

Thanks, Pandora.

It's a little frustrating for non- Twilight fans to admit that the soundtrack to the final installment of the Twilight Saga might actually be good. Featuring contributions from St. Vincent , Passion Pit , Feist , and Ellie Goulding , it's great news for Twilight fans, but even if you're not a fan, at least you'll have good music to listen to if you're forced to sit through the movie. Stream the soundtrack in its entirety over at Pandora or a few of the tracks below. [...]

It's no secret here at P&P that we love Annie Clark (or as she's better known, St. Vincent ). And just when we thought our love couldn't get any deeper, the singer, alongside David Byrne , braved the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy and stopped by The Colbert Report for a hilariously adorable interview. The duo, who recently released their excellent joint album Love This Giant , discussed what it's like living in Manhattan after Sandy, their process behind making Love This Giant , and even a proposed group shower with Colbert. Check [...]

David Byrne and  St. Vincent , aka Annie Clark, aren't too fond of Hurricane Sandy. The force of nature nixed their plans to appear on Letterman Tuesday night, and according to a recent newsletter from Byrne, he'll be climbing "11 flights with a flashlight up a dark stairway" until New York City gets full power and working water again. Still, the two made it out to The Colbert Report last night, where they had a chat and performed material off last month's Love This Giant . "I love things [...]

The band's debut album, An Awesome Wave , had won the Barclaycard Mercury Prize, an award for the best UK album of the year. And they're in good company, too: over the past twenty years, the prize has gone to classic albums like Portishead's Dummy and Pulp's Different Class .

Last night, David Byrne & St. Vincent took to The Colbert Report to play Love This Giant cuts " Who " and " Weekend In The Dust ." They also sat down to chat with Stephen about post-Sandy NYC. Watch all of it below. Read More...

So it was a somewhat blustery Hallowe'en one – same as every year, or so it'd seem. And whilst the Samhain celebration ushering in that eternally damned darker half of the year may occur annually, and with the unerring tedium of the equivalently wretched wallet-voiding guising it entails, down round The Forum a momentous sense of occasion did brood. A one-off exclusive; a "late night double feature." Not since 2007 have Tim DeLaughter's The Polyphonic Spree been about these dank and windswept parts, and indeed in the interim period the boys and girls in the floor-length [...]

David Byrne and St. Vincent stopped by the Colbert Report for a brief interview and performed "Who." Watch both videos below: ...

David Byrne & St. Vincent will be the musical guests on "The Colbert Report" (Comedy Central, 10:30pm CST) tonight, playing music from their new album, Love This Giant .

Love This Giant is the new collaboration between St. Vincent and former Talking Heads singer David Byrne. As I said when I first posted about it in July, this seemingly strange pairing made perfect sense to me since they share a flare for the eccentric. The album as a whole doesn't quite live up to [...]
