[17] St. Vincent, ‘Actor Out Of Work’
December 8, 2009
Annie Clark, a former member of the Polyphonic Spree, no less. There must have been an intervention. Now she makes music as St. Vincent, sounding for all the world like an avant garde (yet somewhat indiefied) Judy Garland. That’s lovely stuff, by the way. ‘Actor Out Of Work’ is as boho as it should be, with gorgeous “ooo-ooo-ooo”s and some brass that sounds as if it’s tumbling down the stairs.
When I asked Junior what she thought of it, she said, “Yes.” A positive response then.
I think I love you:
Heard one of four thus far. Roderick reckons he’ll get through the full 20 without having heard one.
Everyone in the world knows No.15.
