Reveal hidden contents hell is near - midtempo, starts out quite ominous with dark lyrics, but then turns into a very guitar forward, kinda 70s folk rock vibe i would say, then it starts to fade out in the second half, into a kind of ethereal and dreamy song with breathy and minimal vocals Reveal hidden contents the comparison to my mind for this one is SOPHIE's Pretending, not saying it sounds like a SOPHIE song!! so dont misquote me, but the kinda vibe of that song, ethereal and beautiful with breathy, minimal vocals reckless - follows on nicely from the first track , the instrumental is very minimal for the first 2:40 or so but now with some piano noted sprinkled in , and she is actually singing here (as opposed to the minimal vocals on the 2nd half of HIN) but the vocals start out quite monotone but become more expressive, angry and emotional as the song goes on, and then... well the rest of the song is best left until you hear it (in a good way dont worry) if your love was an anchor, and i am lost at sea, i hear the riders calling, they're calling for meeeeeeeeeeee... violent times - sorry i'm not sure how to describe this song but what comes to mind for me is "if st vincent made a song for james bond it would sound something like this" lol. its laced with awesome, grand moments of big brass instruments (trumpets i think). the last minute of the song is basically her singing and moaning out "oh" over the instrumental, but in a kind of needy and desperate way, almost sexual i would say (not in a tacky way ofc). im not sure how else to describe it but i mean that in a good way haha , youll see what i mean, its beautiful how could i have ever have been so blind? blame these violent times / run all of the bombs inside all of the wires and all of the wasted nights chasing mortality / but in the ashes of pompeii, lovers discovered in an embrace for all eternity the power's out - a pretty basic and minimal ballad, not much to the instrumental and nothing noteable about the vocals. later in the song ( and in a few small parts before) her iconic guitar riffs get infused into the instrumental which elevates the song the mothers gasp, the children cry, almost could not believe my eyes, the power's out, and no one can save us, no one can blame us now that the power's out so many planets - sorry again i have no idea how to describe this one but its quirky and very fun and somehow nostalgic misfiring chemicals and scary ideas, this revolution isn't fun anymore(?), i'm out of fashion i've got god on my heels, i'm dropping promises like h-bombs / i have to visit so many planets before i found my own, i fall asleep in the golden highway before i finally find it some lyrics for the other songs: flea - like a hungry little flea, jumping on somebody's warm body, when you start to itch and scratch and scream, once i'm in you can't get rid of me big time nothing - don't blink, don't leap, don't walk, you're late, don't fall from grace, behave, don't trip, sashay / do ask but don't tell, don't laugh but do smile, don't have a glass, don't stay a while, don't take a pic, don't feel so sick all born screaming - i've climbed powerlines and mountains just to feel above the ground / i crawl out your hallowed houses just to feel my headache pound / i can't stop my legs, i can't feel my feet, i own nothing and nothing owns me / we're all born screaming as for standout tracks , that's hard. i personally wouldnt say theres a single bad song or dud on this album, the only low point i could think of for me would be the first 2 mins or so of TPO being kind of forgettable but once the guitar kicks in it gets a lot better ! but if i had to pick a few i would say Sweetest Fruit, Big Time Nothing, Broken Man (special mentions to Violent Times and So Many Planets) but again the whole album is great and i would definitely say look forward to it sorry i typed way more than planned but hope that helps a bit You are an absolute saint 😉 thanks ! last Q I have if you don't mind , is what St V album(s) would you compare it to most? not expecting it to sound way to close to any 1, but I'm feeling a slight self titled vibe from what I've read 1

Lazuli Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Another St. Vincent album release, another day I dream of the iconic ATRL Masseduction discourse 2
Démodé Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Title and artwork are excellent. Broken man is SO in the right direction.
Dareeyecare Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Flea drops Thursday 3/28 and already sounds like a sludgey St V classic 🥵 2
Pendulum Posted March 28 Posted March 28 OUUU Flea is a bopianka. 2/2 so far, she just doesn't know how to make bad music (we'll pretend Daddy's Home does not exist) 2
ArisenMySenses Posted March 28 Posted March 28 I THINK I prefer Broken Man but absolutely love Flea. The excellence
Tyrion_LMG Posted March 28 Posted March 28 I love both but Flea is beyond perfect. We are not ready for this album. 1 1
