New Music Friday #Happens With St. Vincent
Dallas’ St. Vincent has her seventh album, All Born Screaming, today via Total Pleasure Records in partnership with Virgin Music Group. Her new 10 song collection was self-produced and features the lead single “Broken Man,” which just moved inside the Top 20 on the Alternative chart.
“Broken Man” is a sonic juggernaut that shatters preconceived expectations with an irrefutable power and visuals that complete the album’s distinct aesthetic.
“There are some places, emotionally, that you can only get to by taking the long walk into the woods alone—to find out what your heart is really saying,” says Annie Clark, the musician better known as St. Vincent.
All Born Screaming was produced by St. Vincent and mixed by Cian Riordan. The album was brought to life with the aid of a highly curated dream lineup of friends — Rachel Eckroth, Josh Freese, Dave Grohl, Mark Guiliana, Cate Le Bon, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Stella Mogzawa and David Ralicke — the album is an unadulterated expression of St. Vincent’s singular vision.
It’s St. Vincent’s first new release since her 2021, Daddy’s Home album, which won A Grammy Award for “Best Alternative Album.” Her past albums are Masseduction (2017), St. Vincent (2014), Strange Mercy (2011), Actor (2009), and Marry Me (2007).
St. Vincent has a handful of upcoming May tour dates with Momma around performance at BottleRock Festival on May 24th. Her All Born Screaming US Tour dates begin August 8th in Bend, OR through September 20th in St. Paul, MN. Find the tour dates HERE.
