Pitchfork gives a rave review to the Annie Clark's St. Vincent record, Marry Me. They actually like it more than I do which makes me feel better for feeling like I like it more than I should.Anyway, here's what they have to say in their 8.0 review:
In the case of music like this, the devil to conquer is preciousness and indulgence. No doubt, in lesser hands Clark's quirks and eccentricities would mark the St. Vincent project a no-go from the start. But at every turn Marry Me takes the more challenging route of twisting already twisted structures and unusual instrumentation to make them sound perfectly natural and, most importantly, easy to listen to as she overdubs her thrillingly sui generis vision into vibrant life.Good stuff.
