Sasquatch!: Of Montreal Amazes

May 23 I'd prefer to start my day with a Rolling Rock than Starbucks. Cracking the former before noon indicates you're going to spend a day in the blistering heat enjoying a magical spread of the biggest buzz bands of the year. Pouring the latter into your mug means you're back at your desk cranking out doomsday copy in the moderately warm...

St. Vincent — Actor

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) May 14, 2009 11:42 am
Annie Clark has performed as part of The Polyphonic Spree and been a member of Sufjan Stevens' touring band, but don't let that prejudice you. Actor, her second record, shows her starting to carve her own niche. Clark's musical palette is far more complex. Actor opens with "The Strangers," on which she shows off her ability to match...

Midlake Bust Out In Live Setting

in
By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) February 15, 2007 4:00 pm
There are a few occasions when bands sound entirely different live than on record. Invariably I expect it to a degree, otherwise I could just stay home and listen to a disc. With Midlake, the difference was a little more pronounced. On record, the Texas quintet traffic in restrained '70s folk-inspired pop songs. In concert, they shed any...

By Jordan Darville (CHARTattack) February 7, 2012 1:36 pm
If you’re one of thousands of indie rock fans who long to possess Annie Clark, the new video for “Cheerleader” off the amazing Strange Mercy will serve as an apt reminder that her talent cannot be constrained by any entity, and anyway you’ve been wearing the same shirt to work for three days, what’s wrong with you, people have noticed. The video...

It’s the New Year and so far the only late night performance of note has been Lana Del Rey on SNL, though not for very flattering reasons.  So, let’s cleanse our palettes with the always reliable St. Vincent, who performed last night on Conan and, as per usual, completely destroyed.Before bursting into a rousing rendition of “Cheerleader”...

WATCH: St. Vincent covers “She Is Beyond Good and Evil” on Fallon

Porcelain-skinned indie babe St. Vincent visited Late Night with Jimmy Fallon earlier this week and continued her winning streak of covers (e.g. 1, 2) with a cutting rendition of The Pop Group’s debut 1979 single, “She Is Beyond Good and Evil.”  Her usual spastic and destructive demeanour is in full effect here, proving once again that she is...

The Drums are back with a sophomore album called Portamento on Sept. 13. Regardless of what it'll sound like, Manic Street Preachers bassist Nicky Wire will probably still say there's "no soul in that band." The third in Radiohead's series of 12-inch vinyl remixes of tunes from this year's The King Of Limbs is out "in two weeks." Yeah, there's no...

Thrice are returning with a new record dubbed Major/Minor on Sept. 20. It's described as "entirely different" than their last album, which is a relief because if a band literally released the same record over and over again, that'd be kind of, you know, awkward. Angry at mom and dad? Got a lot of xxxaggro bullshitxxx to take out on people you'll...

St. Vincent's hilarious new video for Actor's "Laughing With A Mouth Of Blood" features Carrie Brownstein and Saturday Night Live's Fred Armisen as book shop owners imagining how they're going to deal with the "riot" that they think will inevitably ensure at her in-store performance. Solution? She only plays for them. Yes, they...

If life is essentially performance, we're all actors. Annie Clark explores the relationships between the internal and external portrayals of self on her latest St. Vincent album, aptly titled Actor. "I think the thing I was most concert with in the narrative of this record is the idea of storytelling juxtaposed with images," says...

Some folks have been losing it over St. Vincent, but we figure it's one of those in-the-absence-of... type scenarios. And in her case, she's benefitting from Feist going into hibernation.
