ST VINCENT BBC 6 MUSIC ALBUM OF THE YEAR NO 2. INTERVIEW

So 6 Music has been counting down it's top 15 albums of the year over the past three weeks and we find ourselves as number two.
 
DRUM ROLL PLEASE
 
It is St Vincent with St Vincent and I got to chat to Annie again (yay) about the album, her fourth studio effort. 
 
Just earlier this month she was nominated in the Best Alternative Music Album category for the record, alongside Alt-J, Arcade Fire, Cage The Elephant and Jack White.
 
Produced by John Congleton the tracks were arranged and demoed by Annie in Austin, Texas and recorded at Elmwood Studios in Dallas, Texas.
 
St Vincent received many four and five star reviews following its release in February. In the press she described it as “a party record you could play at a funeral” and off the back performed at several festivals this summer, her own tour dates and she is currently on tour in the US supporting The Black Keys.
 
She is also one of our three wise women sharing her musical wisdom over Christmas presenting on 6 Music this year.
 
Here we are nattering about the album, ramping up the performance elements of it and scoring no.2 in our rundown...
