St Vincent

Here's a full song from the actual performance. Awesome to attempt this in the light of day (and pull it off).  This screams Berlin (the city/the scene) and I could easily find myself getting taken on that journey - that deep groove - those nods to Nina Hagen, Fripp, Bowie, Klaus Nomi, Diamada Galàs ---- take the stylized pop trajectory of say a Gwen Stephani, then a lady Gaga -- and return it to the Techno Pop avant garde they hint at and you have this phase of St. Vincent.

Huey Newton is also kinda catchy:

Lol...I read this as Huey Lewis...and then though of Juice Newton...

I think I'm old! ! :blink:  

 
I can't get passed the lipstick smeared all over her mouth.
Yeah, she definitely likes to be close to that microphone. You can watch it get worse as the concert goes on. Not the first time I've seen stuff like that happen. I have a friend who runs sound in Philly, and he's got a freakin "protocol" for "lip-sticked" microphones.

 
Just to add to this thread - here's a performance where you can see how she evolved to this current "sound". It might help connect the dots say between the dig a pony clip and the new stuff

To me the real question is would you listen to this if you never had a visual of her?  I wouldn't.  There are much better weird sounds out of a guitar folks out there (Vai, Reid and Beck come to my mind).  I think she has skill, but someone decided she has talent.  I'm not one of them.  

 
I'd listen to those two clips above for sure - in fact they made me turn my head when I first heard them. But I recognize that there are different tastes. Just wanted to show more of the evolution of the sound so you had better context.

 
Don't get me wrong, not knocking anyone's like of her or her music, just not for me.  I do appreciate giving something a chance.
