This time I'm gonna glorify St. Vincent. St Vincent is the badass that is Annie Erin Clark. St. Vincent completely disregards the stereotypical “woman singer who cannot play an instrument” generalization in that she plays a mean axe, and writes all of her own songs. St Vincent comes from the rich heritage of Polyphonic Spree and Sufjan Stevens, with recent collaboration on the new, New Pornographers album.
Although I have yet to see St. Vincent live, my gut feeling (based off of YouTube and instinct) is that she will be quite the force to be reckoned with. I would characterize her music as complex, meaningful indiepop, exemplary in the fact that she wrote, and can play live, a song consisting almost entirely of guitar harmonics and wonderful singing. Definitely recommended if you like the bands previously mentioned.
