David Byrne: " big suit " wearer, architectural instrumenteur ... Filipino royalty enthusiast? If it means more Cyndi Lauper/Tori Amos duets, we're in. The Talking Heads frontman, along with DJ Fatboy Slim, presents Here Lies Love —out April 6—a collaboration fittingly rife with indie rock royals: Florence and the Machine, St. Vincent, Santigold, and more. The concept album details the life of Imelda Marcos , wife of ex-Phillippines prez Ferdinand Marcos (and her affair with a servant—scandalous!). Get a taste with Lauper and Amos' contribution "Why Don't You Love Me," shown above. The unlikely duo mixes 80s electro-pop [...]
The indietastic soundtrack for the upcoming Twilight sequel has leaked, spurring a lot of excitement amongst the blogs. Excitement not misplaced, may I add. I've only had a short while with the soundtrack, but it's definitely a great collection of songs; a NOW That's What I Call Indie Music of sorts. On the flip side, some people hate the idea of their favorite bands coming together to score a cheesy vampire romance movie. Get. Over. It. The first soundtrack sold over 2.4 million copies in the US alone and it featured tracks [...]

“Bicycle” is dizzy, distant, repetitive – piano and keyboard in a redundant, spiraling whirl, like the spinning of wheels on a bicycle. Annie Clarke’s voice is sweet, haunting, mingled with accordion and drums that echo, and she sings about how love can be like a ghostly encounter (“I blinked, and you were gone”). Listening to this song makes you feel like Annie – followed by a ghost, a deliberate and haunting presence. It’s beautiful, and mesmerizing. Give it a listen, or two.

5.5 out of 10 stars Disclaimer: I have not listened enough to this album to let it grow on me. If it's indeed a grower, I apologize for this review. But I don't think it is. With the first two singles off of Actor , Annie Clark had me fooled. Both "Actor Out of Work" and "The Strangers" led me to believe that Clark (better known as St. Vincent) would be releasing an indie-pop-rock gem; one with lush orchestration, fuzziness, restrained weirdness, and catchiness galore. I was wrong. And because of internet hype, my assumptions, [...]
6 out of 10 stars St. Vincent has been much-blogged about here lately at PMA, and deservedly so- the first two singles off of her upcoming album, Actor , are both remarkable, memorable tracks. Here, she (Annie Clark) lends her subdued, haunting voice to a cover of "Sleep All Summer," the Crooked Fingers tune, for Merge's upcoming 20-year anniversary album (it drops April 7th, with covers from The Shins, Times New Viking, Ted Leo, and more). And it's a decent, if not very good listen- the National's Matt Birninger and [...]
7.4 out of 10 stars Once again, St. Vincent (Annie Clark) shows off her magnificent flair for orchestration and production, as "Actor Out Of Work" is not driven by her voice, but by the intense, aggressive beats, horns, and fuzzy guitars behind it. Fast-paced and quick, more hard-rocking than first single "The Stranger," "Actor Out Of Work" uses a phenomenal, fuzzed-out guitar and horns melody that sounds right out of the James Bond score. When mixed with St. Vincent's voice and "ooo-s," the song works exceptionally. And that's just the beginning of a song that lasts [...]
St. Vincent's 2007 album, Marry Me , was one that I just kind of missed. In a year of Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem, and Band of Horses, talented Polyphonic Spree member Annie Clark's album flew right by me. But after a few quick listens, I can tell why she garnered such great praise- the woman clearly knows how to make innovative, lush, orchestral music. And her latest, "The Strangers," is no exception. With hypnotic (sorry, this has kind of been my buzz-word lately) instrumentals, filled with swirling "ahhs," piano chords, and, at the song's grand conclusion, guitars, [...]

St. Vincent – Marrow

Pretty Much AmazingThe video for St. Vincent’s “Marrow” is one of the great instances when a music video adds to the listener’s appreciation for every moment of a song. The beautiful contrast of Annie Clark’s soft and sensitive yet eerie and bizarre verses with her energetic chorus is displayed perfectly in this music video. After watching, it will be hard not to picture the middle class family, construction workers, crazy teenagers, and cops jolting back and forth during the chorus. Annie’s control over her followers during the video perfectly shows her grasp of any listener on her wonderful album [...]
