"Flea" comes off All Born Screaming, St. Vincent's 2024 album, and it's close to a one-woman job: she wrote it alone and handles the lead vocal, the electric guitar, the organ and some of the electric bass herself. Justin Meldal-Johnsen splits the bass duties with her and adds backing vocals alongside her own.
The wild card is behind the kit. Dave Grohl plays drums here, and putting a hitter like that under her wiry guitar and organ tells you this one was built to lurch and bite rather than float. Three names on the credit sheet, and nowhere for any of them to hide.
