Sorry if I'm late to this party... but holy hell, why haven't I listened to her 4 albums (plus that one with David Byrne) until this year is beyond me.
All of them are phenomenal, and I am blown away by this band/artist/whatever St. Vincent is.
I started with the most recent, and worked my way back.
Watch her Live on Letterman performance! She absolutely shreds on it.
Anybody else a St. Vincent convert?
i was blown away the first time i saw a live performance
Annie Clark is her real name, and I'm pretty sure St. Vincent is the name of the band? Or perhaps it's just a stage name. Whatever the case, I think she's a really talented and interesting songwriter with a unique guitar style. I was in L.A. last year on vacation and I spotted her shopping at Amoeba Records on Sunset Blvd. However I was too chicken to go up and say hello. I figured she'd want to be left alone.
Awesome talent, the record with David Byrne is absolutely marvelous.
New album is fantastic!
Or maybe even....
Epic.

Yes, St. Vincent is her stage name -- I think she's used a rotating band since the first album.
I think she's pretty incredible, both musically and in terms of marketing and presentation. I have not heard the new album yet, I have the vinyl on order, but liked the first singles. Many amazing songs, but Severed Crossed Fingers and Year of the Tiger top my list of favorite tracks.
I was a bit lukewarm on the last record, Masseduction has definitely got some hooks in me. The title track is sexy as hell.
