I end up always unknowingly ordain a certain band for each season. There is always just one album that it the perfect soundtrack along with the change of each season. This past summer was Animal Collective's album "Merriweather Post Pavilion." My fall soundtrack was dominated by the bittersweet feel of Girls along side the Vivian Girls. The winter of 2007 was Rilo Kiley's "Under the Blacklight."
This year my winter is full of St. Vincent. I'm basically obsessed. I was very hesitant of Annie Clark's darkness, but soon realized it is a beautiful darkness. I also came to the conclusion that those two words do not sum up St. Vincent's sound, not even a little bit. "Actor" is one of those very rare albums where I like all of the songs. Well, I like one or two and I ADORE/LOVE/JUST LOOSE IT OVER the rest of the tracks. I continued my St. Vincent journey and got the other cd "Marry Me," which is also the title of my favorite song.
The official site www.ilovestvincent.com doesn't list any shows near Mississippi for the moment. Although, I did come across some really cool t-shirts for the band. They're cheap, too! I wouldn't mind having one for Christmas... there's still time. :)
