Channeling a (post) modern day Atticus Finch, David Byrne and chanteuse extraordinaire St. Vincent (nee’ Annie Clark) delivers one of the freshest tracks to welcome fall… ‘Who’ is part of the collaborate album “Love This Giant”, out September 11th on indie champions 4AD. “We decided to center the music around a brass band and began sending ideas back and forth in every form: wordless melodies, melody-less songs.”
– St. Vincent
The video is high art in nature, Byrne & St. Vincent playfully weave a morbid tale of drinking & driving, sprinkling some dancing for good measure. Any one who crafts prose like “I secretly expected a choir at the shore and confetti through the falling air” (Strange Mercy 2011) should be on your radar… St. Vincent has been making brilliant Electronic Music since 2007’s “Marry Me” album. Discover her, add her to your list, and revel in the St. Vincent genius.
