New St. Vincent Video - "Jesus Saves, I Spend"

In which Annie lectures her little scouts by the campfire about the "awful mess we've made" while in a dress that could only mean 'more mess to come.' The standout, string-tinged Marry Me waltz gets a Andy Bruntel/Bucky Fukumoto directed clip; they've got Annie telling stories while her background vocals are handled by a group of kids and a littler caterpillar. The scouts eat books and escape the clutches of possessed sleeping bags, but we're most impressed by the continuing trend of shrubbery come-to-life (see also). It's a fun world for St. Vincent, in which you conquer sandwiches with your mind and ingest books through your mouth.


For old times' sake...

St. Vincent - "Now. Now." (MP3)

Marry Me is out now on Beggars Banquet. (Which, by the way, should be said "Marry me!" Like Maeby says it on Arrested Development.)

How did the universe contrive to create this girl without imploding?

She is way too talented to look that good. Or does she look too good to be that talented? It's unfair, really.
