Hear @St_Vincent interview Gang Of Four's Andy Gill http://bit.ly/1FbGwvo

i should know better than to believe internet celeb couple rumours (remember when that frank ocean x miguel rumour got some traction?) but i'm so into the idea of annie & delevingne being gfs

another new track:

Is it more rigid robot funk?

St. Vincent's Mixtape Delivery Service

A big thanks to everyone who tuned into the first episodes of St. Vincent's Mixtape Delivery Service on Beats1. And thank you to everyone who wrote in with your stories. I sat with a margarita (or two) and my trusty PC (joke, Apple!) and read each of them. I was so moved and wished I could make one for every single person. Alas, time is unmerciful.

Anyway, I wanted to let you know that a second round of submissions will be accepted this coming Tuesday, July 14 at 12pm EST/9am PST for one hour. Click HERE to submit.

Hey St Vincent fans - any recommendations for a newbie to her stuff? I've enjoyed scattered tracks like "Surgeon", "Cheerleader" and "Prince Johnny".

she's got a new one coming out this year, i think. maybe wait and see how it is?

honestly the s/t was the first of hers i've liked and i LOOOOOOOOVE it, so maybe that?

i thought the s/t was more uneven than "strange mercy" but that the highs were higher.

Actor was my gateway. But they're all good.

her last few records are quite different and yet...somehow extremely the same. I'd like to hear her loosen up her arrangements a bit for diversity's sake.

there's a sterility to her records that makes them not stand up to a whole lot of relistening for me even as I admire the craft

otm. I thought s/t was great all the way through, but its consistency makes me more likely to play individual tracks than the whole album

I think all of them after the first one are amazing. The first one is really good but just short of amazing.

Actor is my favourite but I do love all four of her albums in different ways. I think the self titled might be the best introduction to her.

I didn't get into her until "Prince Johnny" convinced me to give the s/t a shot. I liked it quite a bit and still need to go back and listen to the earlier records.

Also, "Teenage Talk," her one-off single from 2015, is really great:

Actor and the S/T album are both great. Not so much a fan of Strange Mercy (other than 'Cruel' which is a great song).

Actor > Strange Mercy > Love This Giant > s/t

never listened much to Marry Me

but it's all great, highy recommend seeing her live if you get the chance

my fav song is the party:

also this is a good watch if fx you feel like a lump

"Teenage Talk" is the best thing she's ever done, hope album 5 sounds similar (also hope album 5 comes out this year). s/t is her most cohesive album, imo (in the minority that like it better than Strange Mercy).

Niels - That's a great track
