St. Vincent - "Los Ageless"
In honor of PRIDE month this June I will spotlight only LGBTQIA+ Artists to show you one more way in which we should be grateful for to the Queer Community and how without it we would not have the world or nation that we love so much. We should be grateful and proud.
St. Vincent, the star who is somehow still unknown 14 years later. Her music is fresh and her ideas are strong and somehow she’s always ahead of the curve but yet not in the wave.
Her new record couldn't be more different. The sharp angles and jagged lines of Masseduction have become sinuous and malleable. Backed by humming Wurlitzer organs and loping, elastic bass lines, Clark sounds relaxed, loose, even soulful.
St. Vincent, who’s real name is Annie Clark, is 38, lives in New York, and according to Wikipedia she had a two year relationship with professional celebrity relationshipist Cara Delevingne. Also thanks to Wikipedia, David Byrne once said of her in an interview: “Despite having toured with her for almost a year, I don’t think I know her much better, at least not on a personal level… mystery is not a bad thing for a beautiful, talented young woman (or man) to embrace. And she does it without seeming to be standoffish or distant.”
So today, embracing mystery, I choose St. Vincent’s "Los Ageless" as my, into the blue, out of a dream, over the rainbow, song for a, when the light opens, when the sky cracks, when the world tumbles, Friday.
