{"product_id":"st-vincent-actor-lp-vinyl","title":"St. Vincent – Actor","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnnie Clark had already turned heads with *Marry Me*, but *Actor* was where her orchestral instincts and guitar ferocity locked into something genuinely her own. The album draws its conceptual thread from Hollywood, Clark reportedly writing while watching classic films on mute, letting the visual drama bleed into the arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Actor\" finds Brooklyn's ST VINCENT working alongside Hideaki Aomori (SUFJAN STEVENS), Alex Sopp (BJORK), and MIDLAKE's rhythm section (McKenzie Smith and Paul Alexander). Co-produced by John Congleton (MODEST MOUSE, POLYPHONIC SPREE), \"Actor\" features eleven new songs written and arranged by Annie Clark (ST VINCENT). The album takes the ambitious compositional and sonic underpinnings of her debut (2007's \"Marry Me\") as a starting point and never looks back. The arrangements are more masterful, the song writing grander, the performances ever more confident and inspired. \"St Vincent\" is renowned for her unique creativity and abundance of musical talent. She is not only a stunning vocalist, but a remarkable multi-instrumentalist who plays the guitar, bass and keyboard on her new album. She began each song as a secret film score to a number of her favourite films (Badlands, Pierrot le Fou, the Wizard of Oz, Stardust Memories, Sleeping Beauty), and then slowly gave them independence as standalone songs. Before recording as ST VINCENT, Annie was a member of THE POLYPHONIC SPREE and SUFJAN STEVENS touring band, plus she also performed with Glenn Branca's guitar orchestra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. The Strangers (4:04)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Save Me From What I Want (3:35)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. The Neighbors (3:30)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Actor Out Of Work (2:15)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Black Rainbow (4:11)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. The Sequel (1:53)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Laughing With A Mouth Of Blood (3:01)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Marrow (3:24)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. The Bed (3:43)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. The Party (4:05)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Just The Same But Brand New (5:24)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 652637291919\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4ad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5.09\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4AD (CAD 2919)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2009  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e US\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 The Strangers – 4:04\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 Save Me From What I Want – 3:35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 The Neighbors – 3:30\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA4 Actor Out Of Work – 2:15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA5 Black Rainbow – 4:11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA6 The Sequel – 1:53\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 Laughing With A Mouth Of Blood – 3:01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 Marrow – 3:24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB3 The Bed – 3:43\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB4 The Party – 4:05\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB5 Just The Same But Brand New – 5:24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaul Alexander (2) – Bass (Additional Bass)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWilliam Flynn – Bass (Additional Bass)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMckenzie Smith – Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAynsley Powell – Drums (Additional Drums)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJeff Ryan (10) – Drums (Additional Drums)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatthias Bossi – Drums (Additional Drums)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlex Sopp – Flute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHideaki Aomori – Flute, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMichael Atkinson (4) – French Horn, Score (Score Consultant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohn Dent – Lacquer Cut By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLever And Beam – Management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreg Calbi – Mastered By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnnabel Mehran – Photography By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnnie Clark – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohn Congleton – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnnie Clark – Recorded By (Additional Recording)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScott Solter – Recorded By (Additional Recording)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohn Congleton – Recorded By, Mixed By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaniel Hart – Violin, Sarangi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnnie Clark – Voice, Guitar, Bass, Keyboards, Performer (Etc.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnnie Clark – Written-By, Arranged By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54547784106302,"sku":"511059","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12633308725566-transparent-v2.png?v=1791445573","url":"https:\/\/reserveselects.myshopify.com\/products\/st-vincent-actor-lp-vinyl","provider":"Reserve Selects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
