Annie Clark displays a remarkable facility for change, creating constantly morphing songs contained within a shifting panoply of modes, voices, and styles, cutting delicate, glittering pop with forceful fuzz and raunchy, preening guitar work. A multi-instrumentalist with a history of institutional training and anonymous backing-band work, she retains the guitar as her signature instrument and most potent tool, lacerating otherwise divine music with down-and-dirty grit, eyes heavenward and feet muddy.
The gradual expansion of sounds and textures occurring across her seven solo albums as St. Vincent has been accompanied by an inverse sense of simplification, the fine-tuning of music that’s grown less theatrical and more precise, imagery and language filed down to a sharp point. To celebrate the release of her latest release, All Born Screaming, we’ve ranked all eight of the musician’s albums, including her one-off collaboration with David Byrne.

St. Vincent’s seventh studio album, All Born Screaming, has arrived.
Described by St. Vincent’s Annie Clark as a “post-plague pop” album about “heaven and hell — the metaphorical kinds,” All Born Screaming was first announced this past February, and was preceded by its singles, “Broken Man,” “Flea,” and “Big Time Nothing.”

The album’s full tracklist spans 10 songs, and includes contributions from exciting collaborators like Dave Grohl, Josh Freese, Cate Le Bon (who features on the title track), and more.
One poignant moment is the song “Sweetest Fruit,” which was partially inspired by the legacy and death of Sophie, who Clark “never met,” but was “an admirer from afar,” according to a recent interview. Stream All Born Screaming in its entirety below.
Meanwhile, Clark is gearing up for her 2024 tour, which kicks off in May and will bring her to cities like San Francisco,...

The seventh album that singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalist Annie Clark has released as St. Vincent teems with the kind of visceral imagery that sticks with you long after her songs fade out. There’s a “hungry little flea” ready to infect your “warm body,” a predator on the street turning aggression into an evil blues promise, a sink that runs red, a head that won’t stop banging, a dream that ends in hell. “I feel like graffiti on a urinal,” she sings. Hey, we’ve all been there.
Clark’s music has always been fearlessly intimate.

“This revolution isn’t fun,” Annie Clark sings toward the end of All Born Screaming. That lyric might be an apt descriptor for St. Vincent’s seventh studio album—if it wasn’t such a thrill. The album finds Clark at her most fragile and ferocious, seeking beauty among the waste and wreckage of 21st-century life. Itself a beautifully ugly thing, All Born Screaming is a visceral examination of art and nature when both are pushed to the brink.
The ominously titled opening track, “Hell Is Near,” begins with the sound of war drums. Amid a desolate landscape of empty cups, half-burned candles, and ash on linoleum, Clark finds and fixates on a single sign of life: a can full of marigolds. “Begin again,” she sings, her voice soaring. Just as jangly guitars attempt to lure us into a state of naïve optimism and psychedelic synths and swirling piano seem to promise hope,...

St. Vincent is tired of singers covering Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” while stripping away its original meaning. In a recent interview with BBC Radio, she called such covers “the worst thing in the world.”
Speaking to host Jo Whiley, the artist born Annie Clark praised “Hallelujah” as an “absolute masterpiece” and referenced how it took Cohen “many years to write” the song.

“[It’s] about the complication that it is to be alive — and the agony and the ecstasy and everything and all of the inherent conflict therein,” she continued, before blasting awful covers of “Hallelujah” on televised singing competitions.

Speaking about the record’s sound, Clark said in a statement: “There are some places, emotionally, that you can only get to by taking the long walk into the woods alone — to find out what your heart is really saying. It sounds real because it is real.”
Spanning 10 tracks, All Born Screaming features a number of exciting contributions from musicians like Dave Grohl, Cate Le Bon, Josh Freese, Rachel Eckroth, Mark Guiliana, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Stella Mogzawa, and David Ralicke. Check out the artwork and full tracklist below.

St. Vincent has opened up about her follow-up to 2021’s Daddy’s Home, and it sure sounds interesting. In a new interview with Mojo magazine, the artist born Annie Clark said her new album is “darker and harder” than her most recent project and described its sound as “urgent and psychotic.”
Clark self-produced the album and recorded it at her own Compound Fracture studio in LA, New York’s Electric Lady, and Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio in Chicago. “I needed to go deeper in finding my own sonic vocabulary,” she said about the experience. “I like to think of [the record] as post-plague pop, it’s a lot about heaven and hell — the metaphorical kinds. Which is appropriate, because sitting alone in a studio for that many hours I would say is a version of hell.”
She added that the album is filled with “lots of guitars” alongside ’70s and ’80s analog synths.

Some of Taylor Swift's most devoted fans were very happy this June when news broke that her song "Cruel Summer," off of 2019's "Lover," was officially being released as a single. The news was first reported by U.S. Radio Updater on X (formerly Twitter) on June 14 and was later confirmed by Billboard. The song, cowritten by Swift, Jack Antonoff, and St. Vincent's Annie Clark, has long been a Swiftie fan favorite.
But if you're a more casual Swiftie, you might not be as familiar with "Cruel Summer." Ahead, we break down what the song's about, why the single release of "Cruel Summer" was such a big deal for fans, and its chart performance.
What Is Taylor Swift's "Cruel Summer" About?
In "Cruel Summer," Swift narrates a casual relationship that takes place during the summer. She sings about sneaking out and around, slipping over garden walls, and climbing out of windows.

Olivia Rodrigo might most often be labeled a pop star, but her rock tendencies are indisputable. So it makes sense that she’d turn to Jack White, Kathleen Hanna, and St. Vincent as mentors while making her upcoming album Guts, as she revealed in a new profile with The New York Times.
Rodrigo has long gushed about White — her “hero of all heroes” (and Consequence’s July 2022 cover star) — and she found his advice particularly helpful when she was feeling the pressure of following up her debut album Sour: “He wrote me this letter the first time I met him that said, ‘Your only job is to write music that you would want to hear on the radio,’” she said. “I mean, writing songs that you would like to hear on the radio is in fact very hard.”
But Rodrigo also takes inspiration from some less radio-friendly acts, one being Bikini Kill,...

Queer music artists have always been influential. However, many have gone under appreciated throughout history. When it comes to award shows, queer artists have also been very much present, despite society’s homophobia and transphobia. So to celebrate Pride month, here are 10 music-related queer award show moments worth remembering. For 10 others, check here.
Angela Morley becomes the first openly trans person to earn an Academy Award nomination
The first trans person to be nominated for an Oscar contended for music. The great Angela Morley achieved this in 1974 as one of the four composers for the film “The Little Prince.” Morley’s nomination was a huge step forward in LGBTQ+ history, and it’s rare even to this day, with the number of trans individuals nominated for the Oscar still being very small.

St. Vincent delivered a faithful rendition of David Bowie’s “Young Americans” as part of Thursday’s Love Rocks NYC benefit, an all-star concert staged at New York’s Beacon Theater to benefit God’s Love We Deliver.
Backed by a massive band that included backup singers and a horn section, Annie Clark echoed blue-eyed soul-era Bowie, working the crowd and singing with a very Thin White Duke inflection.
St. Vincent’s appearance came one night after she covered Portishead’s “Glory Box” alongside the Roots on The Tonight Show.

The singer was joined by house band the Roots for an expectedly emotional rendition of the hit 1995 song. “Give me a reason to be a woman,” she sang, “I just want to be a woman,” before playing a Hendrix-y, wah-wah-drenched guitar solo. Throughout, she tapped into...

Metallica performed their new song “Lux Æterna” live for the first time Friday night at the band’s annual benefit concert in support of their All Within My Hands Foundation.
“We thought that this is such a special gig here that we’d play ‘Lux Æterna,’ which is the first single from it. We’ll play that for the first time here live. How about that?” James Hetfield told the crowd.
After a false start, the metal legends then launched into the debut performance of the 72 Seasons single, which they released in late November.

There is something uneasy in the full moon — some eeriness, some mystery. A monthly reminder of our infinitesimal nature, the full moon inspired the poems of Hesiod, ancient Ojibwe lunar calendars, and still today, compels amateur astrologists to charge their Amazon-bought healing crystals beneath the new-age moonlight. Now it’s moved Matthew Houck, the artful folk-rocker known as Phosphorescent, to launch the Full Moon Project, a song series wherein each month, upon the full moon (the word “month,” accordingly, has its etymological roots in the Old English word “mōna,” or...

St. Vincent, a.k.a. Annie Clark, made a special appearance on The Late Show in host Stephen Colbert’s house band. The musician took the opportunity to publicly urge the Dallas Cowboys to book her to perform the National Anthem at a future game.

Colbert then asked her to “sell me on Dallas,” explaining that he has never been. “Is it the brisket? Is it the Cowboys?...

When the Supreme Court’s draft decision to overturn Roe v. Wade leaked, Sen. Susan Collins said she was flabbergasted, deeply troubled, even shocked. After all, soon-to-be-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh had promised her in 2018 that Roe was a matter of settled law — despite his deeply conservative track record on abortion.
Turns out, Collins wasn’t just wrong about Kavanaugh. She was deliberately manipulated by Trump administration officials — and a future Supreme Court Justice — who viewed her as an easy mark.

When the Grammy nominations were announced on Nov. 23, Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff and St. Vincent were listed as album of the year nominees for their role as songwriters on Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour. That raised some eyebrows because those three songwriters weren’t actively involved in the creation of Sour. It’s simply a case that Rodrigo and her producer and frequent collaborator, Daniel Nigro, interpolated an old song of theirs.

Pop acts St Vincent and Carrie Brownstein try to tackle issues of control, authenticity and stardom in music but get mired in anxiety
Produced by, written by and starring musicians Annie Clark – better known by her stage name St Vincent – and Carrie Brownstein (of Sleater-Kinney), this mockumentary is a highly hyphenated affair. Ostensibly chronicling the shooting of a music documentary by Brownstein about her longtime friend Clark, it’s a pseudo-road trip that alternates between cringe humour and surrealist reveries, all while commenting on the absurdities of the music industry.
Beginning with a dreamy shot of a limo whooshing down a lonely road through the desert, The Nowhere Inn aims to undercut the glamour of Clark’s trenchcoat-and-sunglasses attire: the limo driver repeatedly asks if she is actually famous. Clark’s apprehension about the disparity between her electrified, latex-swathed stage persona and her low-key “real” self grows in the vignettes...

The Nowhere Inn: "From real-life friends Annie Clark (a.k.a. Grammy award-winning recording and touring artist St. Vincent) and Carrie Brownstein comes the metafictional account of two creative forces banding together to make a documentary about St. Vincent’s music, touring life, and on-stage persona. But they quickly discover unpredictable forces lurking within the subject and filmmaker that threaten to derail the friendship, the project, and the duo’s creative lives. From first-time filmmaker Bill Benz comes a densely woven, laugh-out-loud funny and increasingly fractured commentary on reality, identity, and authenticity. A story of two close friends who attempt to wrestle the truth out of a complex subject before the hall of mirrors that is their artistic lives devours them completely."

Update 8/12: An extended trailer of The Nowhere Inn has arrived, offering more insight into the dynamic between Carrie Brownstein and St. Vincent (Annie Clark), as the Portlandia star directs a mockumentary on the musician. “You’re nerdy and normal in real life, but the disparity between that and who you are on stage is jarring,” Brownstein tells Clark. “We’re in this together,” Clark later says. “Me and me.”

"I love you, but I'm married to the road." This looks wild. IFC Films has released a full-length official trailer for The Nowhere Inn, a strange meta comedy mockumentary creation & authenticity from filmmaker Bill Benz. This initially premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival last year, and also played at the Outfest Film Festival later in the year. The singer known as St. Vincent sets out to make a documentary about her music and touring life on the road, but when she hires a close friend to direct, notions of reality, identity, and authenticity grow increasingly distorted and bizarre. This co-stars Annie Clark, aka "St. Vincent", and Carrie Brownstein, with Ezra Buzzington, Toko Yasuda, Chris Aquilino, Drew Connick. As seen in the trailer, the film is best described as a "metafictional meditation on friendship, fame and persona." It looks quite bizarre and very Lynchian, lots of odd footage intertwining and unraveling.

St. Vincent (Annie Clark) is having quite the year. Not only did she just release her new psychedelic, ’70s-inspired album “Daddy’s Home,” but her upcoming mockumentary film “The Nowhere Inn” is also about to be released from IFC Films. Opening on September 17 in theaters and on demand, “The Nowhere Inn” is directed by Bill Benz from a script by Clark and her pal Carrie Brownstein, the comedian and Sleater-Kinney musician. The film is a scalpel-sharp critique of the nature of celebrity and the madness of fame, and what’s set up as a straightforward documentary about Grammy winner St. Vincent and her career soon devolves into a psychological thriller. Watch the new teaser trailer below.
Here’s the official synopsis from IFC Films: “From real-life friends Annie Clark (aka Grammy Award-winning musician St. Vincent) and Carrie Brownstein comes the metafictional account of two creative forces banding together to make a documentary about St.

The formula for the concert documentary is a tried-and-true one, with only a few surprises to arrive here and there. Martin Scorsese had some fun with the tenets of the form with the recent Rolling Thunder Revue and now St. Vincent aka Annie Clark and Sleater-Kinney’s Carrie Brownstein are here to shake things up. Originally premiering back at Sundance Film Festival last year, the comedy-thriller-documentary The Nowhere Inn will now arrive in theaters and on VOD next month.
Directed by Bill Benz, the film is a metafictional account of the two creative forces banding together to make a documentary about St. Vincent’s music, touring life, and on-stage persona. But they quickly discover unpredictable forces lurking within subject and filmmaker that threaten to derail the friendship, the project, and the duo’s creative lives.
Watch the entertaining new trailer below for the film also featuring Dakota Johnson and Ezra Buzzington.

St. Vincent has contributed a cover of Metallica’s “Sad But True” to The Metallica Blacklist, a tribute album celebrating the 30th anniversary of the band’s classic LP The Black Album.
Annie Clark’s “Sad But True” rendition takes the melody of the Metallica track and channels it through her angular art-rock, with industrial-sounding guitar and a demonic vocal filter on her voice.
All in all, The Metallica Blacklist will feature 53 different covers of Black Album songs and benefit 52 charities, all chosen by the artists who contributed to the record.

Sleater-Kinney are back to their old tricks, which means trying out some new tricks. The Pacific Northwest punks grabbed the world’s imagination with the 1996 riot-grrrl bombshell Call the Doctor, but ever since, they’ve refused to repeat themselves. Everything about their new album is outside their zone, starting with the title: Path of Wellness. It’s the first album they’ve made as a duo—the band is down to Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker, after a painful and public split with longtime drummer Janet Weiss.

"A small part of me was starting to second guess myself." IFC Films has unveiled the first teaser trailer for The Nowhere Inn, a strange meta comedy mockumentary creation from filmmaker Bill Benz. This initially premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival last year, and also played at the Outfest Film Festival later in the year. The singer known as St. Vincent sets out to make a documentary about her music, but when she hires a close friend to direct, notions of reality, identity, and authenticity grow increasingly distorted and bizarre. Starring Annie Clark, aka "St. Vincent", and Carrie Brownstein, with Ezra Buzzington, Toko Yasuda, Chris Aquilino, Drew Connick. This looks exceptionally strange and alluring; a touch of David Lynch and a dash of Christopher Guest. Sundance says it's "a funny metacritique of fame that relishes the power of reinvention while calling out our incessant demand for entertainment over authenticity." Radical.

Originally premiering back at Sundance Film Festival last year, we imagine if it wasn’t for the pandemic, The Nowhere Inn would have been released in 2020. However, the timing is a bit fortuitous for its stars as IFC Films have now set it for a release this fall. Starring St. Vincent aka Annie Clark and Sleater-Kinney’s Carrie Brownstein––both of whom have new albums this year––the first teaser for the meta tale has arrived.
Directed by Bill Benz, the film is a metafictional account of the two creative forces banding together to make a documentary about St. Vincent’s music, touring life, and on-stage persona. But they quickly discover unpredictable forces lurking within subject and filmmaker that threaten to derail the friendship, the project, and the duo’s creative lives.

Annie Clark, better known as indie rocker St. Vincent, has always molded her stage persona to fit the moment. But for her film “The Nowhere Inn,” she wanted to show her “real” side and finally take “control of the narrative.”
The only problem is, she admits in the first trailer for the film that somewhere along the line, things went “terribly wrong.”
“The Nowhere Inn” is part concert documentary — with St. Vincent and her friend Carrie Brownstein of “Portlandia” and Sleater-Kinney fame appearing as themselves — but the story is fictional and more than a bit surreal, with a mix of horror and sketch humor.
In the film, Clark recruits Brownstein to make a concert documentary about St. Vincent while showing the real Annie Clark behind the scenes. But when Brownstein tries to coax some of St. Vincent’s onstage energy into the offstage Annie, her stage presence begins to overtake...

Annie Clark has framed her frenetic and unabashedly retro new album Daddy’s Home as a kind of reckoning. Her father has returned home from prison, where he served 12 years for his involvement in a multi-million-dollar stock manipulation scheme; in the meantime, Clark radically transformed her St. Vincent music persona, evolving from a small-time indie artist with a cult following to a self-proclaimed “near-future cult leader” within pop music. While her last album Masseduction peered at her newfound fame through an electro-pop funhouse mirror, Daddy’s Home looks backward, examining Clark’s...

“All of the biggest bands in the world, they had to start somewhere. Everybody I know started out like this: in a van,” Dave Grohl says at the onset of his new documentary What Drives Us, a film that chronicles the early touring days of some of rock’s most enduring groups, including U2, Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and, of course, the Foo Fighters.

One of the last times Annie Clark went to see her father in a Texas prison, a fellow visitor asked her to autograph a receipt — the only paper they had on hand. “You can’t bring phones in, so you can’t take a normal selfie. I guess I’m glad that a selfie of me in there doesn’t exist,” Clark, 38, says. “I find it very darkly comic. It’s obviously very sad, but it’s also incredibly funny.”
