St. Vincent at Mercury Lounge - pics

There has rarely been so much elegance in a girl in bright red tights breezing her fingers through the guitar, stomping her foot on her kick pad, singing about murder and whimsical, indecisive fancies about marrying John. Talking about a sweet boy who came up to her after a show, asking if the song was about killing her actual baby. Saying yes with a straight face. Humming at a distance from the mic, sounding gorgeous all the time, shaking her guitar, switching between mics, one clean one dirty, and making us understand immediately why these switches are fantastically crucial. Annie Clark, who goes by the name St. Vincent, played an outstanding one-woman show at Mercury Lounge. Don’t miss her at Union Hall. Link to full show review will be posted later.
