St. Vincent barely seems to acknowledge the existence of men at all in her new work.
wut, she has entire song about a dude named Johnny
Two of them! And one of the Johnnys was a prince!
Well, three technically. If that's the game we're playing. She tried to marry one, too.

I loved the tracks up to and including Los Ageless in my first listen, I'm not sure yet if the rest lives up to those. Not a fan of the ballads.
That closer is probably the best track though.

First pass through, there were only a handful of songs on this album that really perked my ears up, "Happy Birthday Johnny" and "Slow Disco" most specifically. There are certainly a wealth of musical ideas here but overall I think she's just onto something now that I'm not into; thematically, musically, artistically, this stuff just doesn't speak to me. But I'm glad it didn't let Joe down.

Isn't "Pills" an Antonoff song?

Yup, it is. Antonoff co-wrote 4 tracks on the album according to the liner notes, including "Pills"

4 tracks as a cowriter. He is co-producer on the whole record.

I still haven't heard this album but I finally listened to "Los Ageless" and I liked it a lot

Los Ageless to Fear the Future might be the strongest consecutive run in her entire catalog, so far. Jesus those five songs!

Hmm I think the album gets considerably weaker after Los Ageless but I need more listens.
