Apr 27, 2014I can't imagine a better album being released this year. Amazing.
My faves for the decade?- "The Whole Love" by Wilco..."So Beautiful Of So What" by Paul Simon..."Strange Mercy" by St. Vincent & "St. Vincent" by St. Vincent. -

Feb 19, 2018An album that sonically travels everywhere, attacking the listener from all angles in a frantic manner. One of those rare records that mixes extreme catchiness with serious invention and depth. Similar thematically to her previous work but with a definite progression. "Prince Johnny" and "I Prefer Your Love" being the notable highlights.

Mar 25, 2014This was the first album I listened to by St Vincent, but it's a fantastic first impression. Annie melds experimentation & accessibility together in a fantastic way, creating songs with interesting sonic flavor, clever songwriting, and awesomely catchy hooks.

Dec 20, 2014Another amazing album from Annie Clark. What more can be said? St Vincent continues a trend that I have observed from Clark's albums, which is that every song has a certain beauty and accessibility to it, but also has a tinge of rawness that acts as her stamp on each song. I believe this quality is what makes her music so unique.

Feb 6, 2020St. Vincent is, no doubt, one of the most creative musicians of nowadays. Her self-titled album is a perfect mix of pop, indie, electronic and Johnny Greenwood-like noisy guitars.

Mar 19, 2014I was ready to listen to this with high intentions that I would actually enjoy this. I gave it a few runarounds and after my 3rd time listening to it, I found no joy in the music at all. Yes, this is a catchy album all around but I found nothing new in this sound. It sounds overly cluttered and forced. Thoroughly disappointed by this.

Jan 24, 2015St. Vincent was an interesting artist who showed promise prior to this album, but this one solidified her status as one of the greats in contemporary indie music - the album is perfect from beginning to end, rough, wild, touching and quiet at times - an extraordinary accomplishment.

Jul 25, 2014At this point, no one can doubt about the innate talent and sense of good taste Anne has. But what this fourth album creates is something unique and transcendental, while persisting on being honest and vulnerable. Big minds are big but also humble, and St Vincent knew how to create this as well as such an ambiguous and versatile atmosphere as very few could before. A success from start to end.

Feb 25, 2014This album is a masterpiece. It is original, it is Annie ! I love how every song sounds. The whole album comes alive once you're into it . I highly recommend

Mar 21, 2014In my view, this is the best album of the year so far. The songs are daring, weird and complex. Certainly not easy listening material, but with some effort it is a rewarding experience.

Oct 10, 2014This is an excellent record by Annie Clark a.k.a St. Vincent. The songs are just wonderful to listen to, especially 'Prince Johnny' and 'Digital Witness' and some really interesting lyrics within 'Birth in Reverse'
10/10 This is a modern age classic, I highly recommend to anyone, just essential to your music collection for it's phenomenal display of it's art -
Feb 25, 2014It has been a long time since I've been able to listen to a single album for almost 24 straight hours. St. Vincent has been able to create a sound is at the same time beautifully mesmerizing and intriguingly off-putting. I would highly recommend this for all who appreciate a challenging and engrossing listening experience.

Feb 27, 2014This album is incredible. With St. Vincent, Clark has found a nearly flawless blend of accessible and eccentric, highlighting her idiosyncrasies while cranking out catchy tune after insanely catchy tune. This is one of the best albums I've heard in some time, and it deserves every syllable of the praise it's getting.

Mar 14, 2014This is Clark's most daring, uncompromising, infectious, and adventurous release yet, as St. Vicent features a musician challenging the very idea of what it means to be an artist in 2014.
-
Mar 12, 2014Clark's exacting sensibility makes every song a new experience, finally birthing an album where every shot hits its mark.

Mar 10, 2014St. Vincent dances with themes (family, success and the absence thereof, the isolation of the digital) but only ever seems to fringe against them in a way that doesn’t let the record add up to more than the sum of its parts.
