Episode 46: Annie Clark (St Vincent)

Someone Who Isn't Me

In this new episode, I chat with Annie about her fantastic album 'All Born Screaming' the 7th studio album from St Vincent. The record spans a wide array of influences and sounds combining industrial art rock, pop, rave, dub etc with a haunting lyrical quality all delivered beautifully. 'All Born Screaming' unsurprisingly is one of my favourite albums of this year.

In the course of the conversation we spoke about the albums creation and how it was born from studio experiments with modular synths and electronica. We briefly touch on grief, about the almost prophetic nature of the creative process, and talk a little about Lee Scratch Perry and excellence of Kate Bush. Also I didn't mention it, but I saw the show recently at The Royal Albert Hall in London and it was incredible, if St Vincent is playing near you at any point in the future, its well worth seeing as theres an abandon to the live show that rules...

The album 'All Born Screaming' is out now and you should go listen to it on whichever platform you prefer or better yet buy a copy here.

Annie can be found online easily, but as a heads up her instagram is here and her website is here

On that front, my instagram is @danielpcarter and the podcast is @swimpodcast

I know this is the first episode of 2024 and follows on over a year later from the last one with Thomas from Meshuggah, but thats fine, I don't feel the need to bang these out on the regs and theres a ton of other rad pods you can check out like The Downbeat or Tetragrammaton

For those curious about the cover image I painted, the portrait of Annie is Oil, Acrylic and Ink on paper and for the record and this cover is a crop of it (the full image is on my instagram).

Thanks for listening.

Peace.
