"Prince Johnny" appears on St. Vincent's self-titled fourth album, released in February 2014 through Loma Vista and Republic. Annie Clark arranged and demoed the songs in Austin, Texas, then cut them at the Elmwood studio in Dallas, and John Congleton produced, recorded and mixed this one.
The credits show a tight, sharp crew around her. Clark sings and plays guitar, Homer Steinweiss of Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings sits behind the drums, Daniel Mintseris handles synthesizer and Bobby Sparks adds Minimoog, giving her guitar plenty of electric weather to curl through. The record went on to win the 2015 Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album.
