: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Full of glorious contradictions, Annie Clark's fifth St Vincent :,
: album, Masseduction, is leaded with pitch-dark content but :
:' sounds so wonderfully joyous at times that it's hard to feel ':
,: too oppressed. :,
: :
:' Touted as her 'pop' moment (the album is co-produced by Jack ':
,: Antonoff, who has previously worked with pop luminaries Lorde :,
: and Taylor Swift), right from the off - with 'Hang On Me's :
:' pulsing bass and drowsy, sensual synth melody matched by the ':
,: erotic intensity of Annie's vocal - it is clear that something :,
: special is in the offing. :
:' ':
,: With a palpable honesty, she sings intense stories of lust :,
: ('Savior', playing erotic stock-character dress-up as nurse, :
:' teacher, nun, with an outfit that "rides and sticks to my ':
,: thighs and hips"; 'Young Lover' bluntly admitting: "I miss the :,
: taste of your tongue") and love, but always skewed to the :
:' fatalistic, dangerous or gone-wrong varieties. "You and me, ':
,: we're not meant for this world", she intones in the dramatic, :,
: gripping opener - almost revelling in the doomed nature of the :
:' affair. Key track 'Los Ageless' repeats, like an incantation or ':
,: a plea: "How can anybody have you and lose you and not lose :,
: their mind too?" Its East Coast sister track 'New York' :
:' sorrowfully accepts that "You're the only motherfucker in the ':
,: city who can handle me". :,
: :
:' Death is hinted at, fatalistically, on several occasions, from ':
,: 'Sugarboy's admission of a "crush on tragedy" to the apocalyptic :,
: 'Fear the Future' which imagines "the earth split in two"; with :
:' suicide alluded to in both 'Smoking Section' and 'Young Lover'. ':
,: The title track's description of a "smiling nihilist", though, :,
: gets closest to the heart of the album's mood. :
:' ':
,: Which is, despite the darkness, extraordinarily uplifting. The :,
: contrast between the words which are being sung and the :
:' fabulous, synth-strewn, pulsing, riff-heavy music, the ':
,: instantly-moreish melodies and the gorgeously-delivered vocals :,
: is dramatic, but somehow not jarring or dissonant. Take the :
:' Giorgio Moroder-slick disco and glossy vocals of 'Sugarboy', ':
,: say, dragging its tragedy onto the dancefloor, or the frenetic :,
: 'Pills': both confessional and strangely comedic. :
:' ':
,: At the album's mid-point is one of its finest moments, and one :,
: that somehow stands alone. 'Happy Birthday, Johnny' is simple, :
:' straightforward, unadorned and quite, quite beautiful. ':
,: Presumably sung to the same Johnny as the 'Prince Johnny' on :,
: 2014's St Vincent, it combines a simple melody with a hugely :
:' touching tribute/apology/message to a - what: friend? brother? ':
,: ex? - who is clearly troubled and struggling. It's lovely, and :,
: so intimate that you almost feel like an eavesdropper for :
:' listening to it, as the singer admits, baldly: "Of course I ':
,: blame me". :,
: :
:' But such is the quality of the whole album, from its set-piece ':
,: bangers like 'Sugarboy' and 'Los Ageless' to the gentler, more :,
: elegiac moments of 'New York' and 'Smoking Section' ("What could :
:' be better than love?"), it's that treasured thing - a piece of ':
,: art that works in its entirety. You wouldn't want one track or :,
: note to be changed or left out. It's a genuine masterpiece: :
:' complex, funny, sexy, bleak, uplifting, inspiring and ':
,: enthralling from start to finish. :,
: :
:' ':
