St Vincent announces Australian tour ( (25/03/2014
After her first cardboard guitar, teen years on tour, three incredible albums and the celebrated recent Love This Giant collaboration with David Byrne; guitar player, singer and songwriter Annie Clark aka St. Vincent returns with her fourth album, the self-titled St. Vincent, at her most assured and gripping as she meshes distorted, aggressive electric guitars and bold vocal and synthesizer arrangements on top of a relentless rhythm section.
Yielding choir-song harmonies and orchestral flourishes with high-wire solos and stage dives, St. Vincent's whimsical journey took an addictive new turn with her chart-breakthrough, Strange Mercy (2008). Now guiding hip-hop inspired rhythms through a fierce array of live electronics and choreographed heroics, the 31-year-old has made 'a party record you could play at a funeral' – liberated by Ambien-induced dreams, snake-evading desert walks, and the rhythmic muscle of the Dap-Kings and Midlake.
With the excellent new album out now it is never too soon to find out that Annie Clark is on tour and we are most excited to announce that St. Vincent will play shows in Sydney and Melbourne in May. She will appear with her full band as part of the Vivid LIVE 2014 programme at Sydney Opera House and at the exhilaratingly fresh Howler art-warehouse in Melbourne for this very special visit.
These shows – like the new album – will be as daring, dangerous and delightful as only St. Vincent can be and they go on sale this week. Details below.
