“I went back to these records that I probably listened to more in my life than at any other time,” Clark continues. “Music made in New York from 1971-76, typically post-flower child, kick the hippie idealism out of it, America’s in a recession but pre-disco, the sort of gritty, raw, wiggly nihilistic part of that. It’s not a glamorous time, there’s a lot of dirt under the fingernails. It was really about feel and vibe but with song and stories.”

“In hindsight, I realised that the ‘Masseduction’ [album] and tour was so incredibly strict, whether it was the outfits I was wearing that literally constricted me, to the show being tight and the music being angular and rigid. When I wrapped that, I was like ‘oh, I just want things that are fluid and wiggly and I want this music to look like a Cassavetes film’.”

Thank goodness. She puts it far more eloquently than I ever could, but that is exactly how I felt about the most recent St. Vincent era.It was to the point of lifelessness for me

Masseduction is my second favorite St Vincent record so I can't agree with "lifeless" but there is an angular (her word) quality that she definitely pushed to the max that I can understand folks finding off-putting. I'm glad she's not consciously trying to push that quality further.

I'm with Joey on this one. I loved what she did on Masseduction but I'm also really excited to hear something different.
