I wouls actually love to get durden’s rec on where to start with St. Vincent. I am being serious.
Last summer I grabbed a CD of hers from like 10 years ago (Marry Me?) and I had to grow into it. I like it. Never got into her because I honestly had never heard of her and then I see durden gushing over her but I didn’t know where to start.
So, durden, where do I start?

I am also not durdencommatyler (but to be fair not even durdencommatyler is durdencommatyler anymore) but I also think the self-titled album is a good place to start.

What's soft about Again? It slaps the whole way through.

For such a big Alice in Chains fan, you as shit can't spell would.
Anyway, Strange Mercy is her best record and probably the one that has the most songs on it that you'll like (based on what I think I know about your taste). It's more obviously guitar focused and rock first. Her other stuff is super angular or else more chamber pop.
But in truth I can't imagine that you'll like her work overall. She's an artist I can see you loving ten songs from a lot and not needing them rest.
Listen to Cruel (the song) and see what that does for you. That one seems pretty universal.

This is the only correct answer. Another 'Billie Jean'.
