I’m listening to the St. Vincent album on NPR right now, and I have to say I’m really impressed. I’ve never heard any of her earlier stuff - do you know how it compares?
@ian_okc: St. Vincent’s debut (Marry Me) was excellent and Actor definitely builds upon it as a template and braches off. Nice to hear such a promising artist avoid a sophomore slump. Definitely check out Marry Me if you get a chance!
