St. Vincent is Anne Erin Clark, born in 1982 and raised in Dallas, and she learned the trade in other people's bands, first in the choral rock troupe the Polyphonic Spree, then in Sufjan Stevens' touring band, before striking out on her own in 2006. Marry Me arrived in 2007, followed by Actor in 2009 and Strange Mercy in 2011, records where pretty, precise melodies keep getting sliced open by a guitar tone that sounds like it's chewing through the wiring. In 2012 she made Love This Giant with David Byrne of Talking Heads.
Her self-titled fourth album, in 2014, was the one that put her over the top: a sleek, twitchy art-rock record that critics lined up to name the best of its year, with "Digital Witness" and "Birth in Reverse" leading the charge on the countdowns. It won the Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album, a prize she now holds 3 times, tying the record for the category.
She teamed with producer and songwriter Jack Antonoff for MASSEDUCTION in 2017 and Daddy's Home in 2021, then produced All Born Screaming herself in 2024. Along the way she produced Sleater-Kinney's The Center Won't Hold, co-wrote Taylor Swift's "Cruel Summer", directed a segment of the horror anthology XX and co-wrote and starred in The Nowhere Inn.
