Crumbs’s Top 5 Albums of 2007 – #5
#5 – “Marry Me” – St. Vincent
St. Vincent (real name Annie Clarke) used to play in the backing band of Sufjan Steven and her debut solo album contains some of the same quirky instrumentation and lush orchestration found in Sufjan’s work. But with differences. She shreds a mean electric guitar for one and this juxtaposes with her sweet vocals. The centrepiece of the album is probably Paris Is Burning, an excellently eclectic song which highlights nearly everything that St. Vincent is about. It would serve as a good starting point to anybody new to her. Nevertheless, I’m linking to a different song for your pleasure.
This is a live performance of Now, Now. How hot is she in this?
