New St. Vincent Live Video - "Paris Is Burning"

Gotta love that pre-release buzz cycle. Seem like you've been prepping for Annie's debut LP for months now? That's 'cause you have. (Three months, actually.) Next week, Texan siren St. Vincent makes it all official, proposing to fans and foes alike with Marry Me, showcasing Ms. Clark's distinct compositional stylings for the masses to consume. Of course something of that is lost when you see Annie do it solo, though the stripped take on her Marry cuts makes for easy songwriting analysis. And, watching her fingerpick her way through the classically-tinged absinthe-y "Paris Is Burning" est tre magnifique. From a fan only show in DUMBO a few months back, we give you St. Vincent.

Marry Me is out 7/10 on Beggars. Take the jump for the first clip from the session, "Your Lips Are Red."

That performance is actually from her show at Union Hall in Park Slope, Brooklyn back in April.

This is a lovely video indeed, but it's not exactly new. Pitchfork posted it a few weeks ago, and Gorilla Vs. Bear posted the other one a couple months ago.

I actually prefer this version of the song to the album version.

Horse Feathers - "Father"

Portland songwriter Justin Ringle's evocative vocal twang and sharp lyricism are at the center of Horse Feathers' bedroom Americana. The band's second album House With No Home, which follows 2006's Words Are Dead, finds Ringle's vision fleshed out by multi-instrumentalist/composer...
