Album Review: St. Vincent’s ‘Daddy’s Home’

st.vincent2

The multi-talented indie starlet Annie Clark, aka St. Vincent, is back with her sixth full-length release inspired by her father’s 1970s record collection.

Daddy’s Home is a tour de force of genre-mixing fueled by the influences of that amazing decade in music when the album ruled.

Reviews from around the webs:

The Independent (UK): “It sounds – for the first time in a decade – like Clark has slipped out of her high heels and found an equal strength in this barefooted soul.”

Mojo: “It’s masterful stuff: a full conceptual realisation, filled with great melodies, deep grooves, colourful characterisations and sonic detail that reveals itself over repeated plays. … A keeper for the decades to come. ”

Daddy’s Home may lack the more exhilarating, guitar-shredding moments of some of Clark’s earlier work, but it’s possibly her best, most considered album to date. Six albums into her career, St Vincent is arguably becoming the defining artist of her generation.

Clash Music: “It’s a record about growing up, and playing it straight; a more open, rounded experience than we’ve come to expect from St. Vincent, it’s a brave, fascinating record.”
