Rock and Roll St Vincent Style

I was flipping through the TV stations and happened upon a unique live performance of St. Vincent doing "Your Lips Are Red". It was the first thing I heard by Annie Clark (who uses St. Vincent for her stage name), and I was mesmerized.

This clip from "Austin City Limits" is nearly two and a half minutes longer than the track from her debut album Marry Me. Yet, the way the song builds from Vincent pounding on her guitar to a spellbinding climax, the time seems to float on by and you're left with the feeling of wanting more.

The sound and video quality is excellent. Watch until the end to be treated to some commentary from Annie Clark herself.

Hear and see for yourself. But don't blame me when you become a new fan, too.



As you can hear, it isn't easy to put St. Vincent into one neat category. But that's okay, because it's rock and roll. Her ability to meld styles into a "singing along before it's half over" type of song speaks for itself.
