#St. Vincent Says She’s Releasing a New Album in 2021

St. Vincent has said that she has a new album on the way. “The rumors are true. New record “locked and loaded” for 2021,” Annie Clark wrote in a tweet. “Can’t wait for you to hear it.” 

Clark spoke more about the followup to 2017’s MASSEDUCTION in an interview with MOJO. Describing the record as a “tectonic shift,” Clark explained, “I felt I had gone as far as I could possibly go with angularity. I was interested in going back to the music I’ve listened to more than any other—Stevie Wonder records from the early ’70s, Sly and the Family Stone. I studied at the feet of those masters,” according to Stereogum.

Annie Clark also said the album has “the color palette of the world of Taxi Driver” and “Gena Rowlands in a Cassavetes film.” “I just wanted to capture the colors, the film stock, and tell these stories of being down and out, down on your luck,” she said.

Since the release of MASSEDUCTION, Clark has shared two reworked versions of the album, MassEducation and Nina Kraviz Presents Masseduction Rewired.

Nowhere Inn, her film with Sleater-Kinney’s Carrie Brownstein, premiered at Sundance earlier this year. Revisit “St. Vincent On Her Directing Debut, The Birthday Party” on the Pitch.
