RIYL: synchronized swim-pop, lethal charm, and paisleys
Tomorrow I take off for a family vacation and will probably have little internet access, so this week's posts might be relatively scrawny. That's still a few hours away, however, and for the present time I want to quickly wax enthusiastic about some great records. I'll schedule them to post one at a time per day.
Today's is the engrossing second album of multi-instrumentalist Annie Clark and her ziplock-tight backing band, who together perform as St. Vincent. Give it a listen. Clark's inventive, meticulously-arranged, and enchanting songs are as innocuously sweet as they are slightly menacing. I'd reccomend "Laughing With A Mouth Full Of Blood," "The Strangers," or "The Party" to start.
