Twenty-five-year-old Annie Clark has quite the maelstrom of ideas. Luckily, she also has a wholly capable musical persona with which to steady them. Taking the name St. Vincent, Clark put together Marry Me, one of the most unabashedly adventurous indie-pop albums of 2007. Her songs tweak and twist the influences she picked up as a backing singer for Sufjan Stevens and the Polyphonic Spree, borrowing theatricality from '70s Bowie, the coy power of Kate Bush, and the fractured digitization of a range of noise and electronic artists. Whether or not she's actually saintly is still up for debate, but St. Vincent is certainly onto something.
