We wrote fondly about St. Vincent’s Actor and its weirdly unknowable protagonists. Even though it’s her face on the cover and in the videos, you never can tell if Annie Clark’s singing about herself or a character she’s invented, whether she’s feeling something for real or if she’s acting. Along with her unique song constructions and songwriting sense, it’s a large part of what makes her work interesting. See, for instance, this first-person Actor bonus track “Bicycle,” another example of her compositionally and emotionally complex output. It’s streaming at HypeM. And, remember, she’ll be joining David Byrne’s camp at Bonnaroo.

Do you think Annie does the vacant stare during sex. If so, terrifying. If by “terrifying” you mean “yes, please.”
Deep down, I believe it’s really her.
She’s just as cute as all her songs are
i love that she’s a pedal nerd AND has great lyrics…not that those two things are mutually exclusive or anything…
