Singer Annie Clark a.k.a. St. Vincent on her public persona, new album, and recording alone.
She asks this with no ulterior motive, no attempt to thwart my upcoming line of questioning or run the clock on our allotted time. The singer, who introduces herself with a smile and a firm handshake, simply had a thought that she’d like to share.
Annie Clark, the artist known as St. Vincent, has spent nearly her entire career living in New York in some capacity. For about a decade, she had an apartment in the East Village where she lived “completely illegally” until she returned home from tour to find an eviction notice on her door. “I just moved out truly in the middle of the night,” she says. These days, she has an apartment in the Lower East Side for when work takes her here .
Dressed in tights, black mesh gloves, and a shiny red plastic trench coat that crinkles when she walks , Clark, 41, is open and warm in her banter, partial to tangents and self-effacing jokes. Despite what the internet might have you think, she is the ideal interview subject who doesn’t shy away from answering questions. “She’s game to talk about anything,” her publicist tells me before we meet.
The title of the album traces back nearly two decades, when the idea of writing a song called “All Born Screaming” came to a then 23-year-old Clark. It wasn’t until now, she says, that she crafted something worthy of the title. “I had lived enough to be able to sort of own it,” she says. “I know what it is to live , so I had earned it.” The general arching theme that Clark can attribute to the record is “life and death.
