St. Vincent Announces New Album 'MASSEDUCTION' & Releases Single 'Los Ageless'

St. Vincent - Los Ageless

St. Vincent - 'Los Ageless'

Info: St. Vincent – aka Annie Clark - has announced her new album, 'MASSEDUCTION', to be released October 13 on Loma Vista Recordings. Themes of power and sex, imperiled relationships and death slice through the album, Clark’s first since her 2014 breakout 'St. Vincent'. The thirteen tracks on 'MASSEDUCTION' swirl with guitar and piano, synths and strings, and drum beats that punch with purpose. The album was co-produced by St. Vincent and Jack Antonoff at Electric Lady Studios in Manhattan, with additional recording at Rough Consumer Studio in Brooklyn, and Compound Fracture in Los Angeles.

"Every record I make has an archetype," says Clark. "‘Strange Mercy’ was Housewives on Pills. 'St. Vincent' was Near-Future Cult Leader. 'MASSEDUCTION' is different, it’s pretty first person. You can’t fact-check it, but if you want to know about my life, listen to this record."

'MASSEDUCTION' is the culmination of years of writing, with songs crafted from voice memos, text messages, and snippets of melodies that came to Clark while traveling the globe. Special guests on the album include Thomas Bartlett on piano, Kamasi Washington on saxophone, Jenny Lewis on vocals, and beat production from Sounwave. Greg Leisz and Rich Hinman add pedal steel, and Tuck and Patti Andress contribute guitar and vocals respectively on select tracks.

As previously announced, St. Vincent’s Fear The Future Tour sees her return to Dublin to play two shows at the Olympia Theatre on October 20th and 21st.
