Got the email from the band and it’s official. Teases like this have been around since AHFOD era. This is already elaborate.New Coldplay 5/7 Did Coldplay Just Tease New Music?
I feel like St. Vincent peaked in 2014 and has been slowly going downhill since. It feels like she cares a lot of her brand/appearance and less about the music of late.The press cycle for this new album hasn’t exactly been ideal You Don't Have to Give Interviews, St. Vincent
My wife and I got into Annie's stuff late and got to see the Masseduction tour. It was an impressive enough show, and we enjoyed it and the "art exhibit meets Prince solo tour" presentation, but the album didn't really stick with me and I find I just have no actual interest in the new album. I don't even like Sleater-Kinney that much, but I think Annie's involvement in that fiasco may have had some impact on me as well. Plus, I remember listening to one of those Song-Exploder type podcasts with Annie explaining how/why she wrote "New York," and both she and the host were acting like it was some timeless classic and I just didn't get it. In aggregate, the whole thing leaves me more and more cold with every iteration I come across. I do need to re-listen to the earlier albums to decide whether I just need to move on entirely, but it's hard to get too excited given the above.I feel like St. Vincent peaked in 2014 and has been slowly going downhill since.

That's the only song that I even remember from Masseducation. It's a fine little song. But it's not groundbreaking at all. I don't want to throw around the word, but I think she's become too pretentious.My wife and I got into Annie's stuff late and got to see the Masseduction tour.

That is the word! The funny thing is that while "New York" was my least-favorite song on Masseduction, it is the one I remember best, partially because I disliked it so much and then it turned out to be "the single..."That's the only song that I even remember from Masseducation.

You may want to mention that to Annie Clark!Although it makes for good banter, you guys @wokeupnew @Bloodlemons are over analyzing this way to much It's music not a fucking thesis!

Check your ears!For me, I'd say 2007, since I think she's been gradually getting worse since her debut. The stuff she's done recently (especially the new album and Masseduction) are practically unlistenable.
I'd say Actor has been her best work. the s/t was good, obviously a little weirder than the first two but still a good album. Masseducation was a step down in terms of songwriting and it was very focused on surface level appeal.For me, I'd say 2007, since I think she's been gradually getting worse since her debut.

At first, I kind of liked this angle, because it was clear she was doing it on purpose. It had a kind of DEVO-esque quality that I can often appreciate. But, ultimately, the songs just didn't stick with me.it was very focused on surface level appeal.
