i'm only familiar with a handful of her stuff, and i've liked what i've heard from what i remember

but i've heard teenage talk on the radio a few times over the last week and it's owning me

Not necessarily, no. She's all over the map musically.

It's probably the best of the S/T leftovers that we've heard so far.

Is it a leftover? I was under the impression it was written anew for whatever TV show it was on.

Nope. Common misconception, actually (that might be the most pretentious thing I've ever written).

Lena Dunham and Annie are friends. Lena asked if she had anything they could use for Girls. Annie busted out a demo from the St. Vincent sessions and it was Teenage Talk. But Annie wrote the song while in Austin. It's autobiographical, about growing up in Dallas, getting drunk and stealing the parents car.

It's kind of mind boggling, really. So many songs! And she's implied there are still more.

I hope she plays more guitar on the next one. I want a really badass heavy album.

She's talked for a long time about doing more of a metal album. I have no idea if that's what's next, but I bet she'll do one eventually.

Me too, man. Honestly, I just don't even care. She has carte blanche. Whatever she wants to do, I trust her entirely.
