ST. VINCENT
August 8 at 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
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,” and “Strange Mercy,” her self-titled fourth album and winner of the 2014 Grammy for Best Alternative Album. In 2017, “MASSEDUCTION” would break St. Vincent into the U.S. and UK top 10s and win two more Grammy Awards (Best Rock Song for its title track, and Best Recording Package). 2021’s “Daddy’s Home” found St. Vincent channeling the hungover glamor and gritty sepia-toned soundtrack of 1970s downtown NYC to an ecstatic reception, ultimately winning her a second Best Alternative Album Grammy. Following a 2021-2022 global tour that reaffirmed St. Vincent’s status as one of live music’s 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 self-produced album (having co-produced 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 self-loathing that is “Big Time Nothing,” the sublime, elegiac earworm “Sweetest Fruit,” “All Born Screaming” is equal parts spiritual desolation and rapturous acceptance.
