âYou will be mine for eternityâ¦â
So states St. Vincent with fiery resolve on âFlea,â the second advance offering from the three-time GRAMMY winnerâs rapidly approaching seventh full-length studio album, All Born Screaming, out April 26 via Total Pleasure Records in partnership with Virgin Music Group.
Featuring St. Vincent on vocals and all instruments except drums and bassâhandled respectively by Dave Grohl and Justin Meldal-JohnsenââFleaâ is raw desire made manifest atop a foundation of thundering grooves and searing guitar figures. Accompanied by a lyric video featuring behind the scenes footage from the All Born Screaming sessions, âFleaâ unveils another dimension of the albumâs emotionally apocalyptic side one, following in the wake of the “thrilling industrial soundâ (The New York Times) of its predecessor âBroken Manââcurrently in its second week at #1 Most Added at Alternative Radio and still amassing critical raves including:
“Itâs a volcanic buildup of a song, from the sparsest ticking electronics to a hard-rock stomp to a full-scale pileup of guitars, drums and horns. Clark sings about power, defiance, abject need and imminent breakdown, riding an onslaught of a song that lives up to the title of her album due in April: ‘All Born Screaming.ââ âTHE NEW YORK TIMES
“…itâs Annie Clark, in all her glory⦠an artist at the pinnacle of her craft.ââ BILLBOARD
âThink Tool covering a Nine Inch Nailsâproduced Fiona Apple song and youâre circling the vibe.ââ FLOOD
âAnnie Clark at her louche best, turning rock performance into a game of roiling tension and all-out abandon.ââ PAPER
“‘Broken Man’ is defiantly catchy⦠enthralling and metallic, signaling an exciting new visionââ PASTE (This Weekâs Best New Songs)
St. Vincentâs first self-produced record, All Born Screaming is an invitation to test the limits of what is possibleâand to then keep going; Brought to life with the aid of a highly curated roster of friends â Rachel Eckroth, Josh Freese, Dave Grohl, Mark Guiliana, Cate Le Bon, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Stella Mogzawa and David Ralicke â the album is an unadulterated expression of St. Vincentâs singular vision.
