St. Vincent is the lovely alias of Annie Clark, an Indie-Pop artist signed to 4AD, label of such bands as Deerhunter (Vomit), The National, TV On the Radio and fomerly, Dead can Dance. This track is from her record "Actor", which was released May 5th of this year. She reminds me a lot of Regina Spektor and the whole sarcastic-anti-folk thing, BUT she seems to have a lot more talent than Regina. (Even though I still love Baobabs)

I haven't listen to either of her albums yet, but the track listing for "Actor" does seem very female Morrissey.

1. The Strangers
2. Save Me from What I Want
3. The Neighbors
4. Actor Out of Work
5. Black Rainbow
6. Laughing with a Mouth of Blood
7. Marrow
8. The Bed
9. The Party
10. Just the Same but Brand New (I like that)
11. The Sequel

She has a strangely enthralling quality to her voice. I don't know what it is, but I like it.

Also, you should do a review of revolutionary road, I'm interested to hear what you thought of it.

Leaving this comment so hopefully I can remember to come back later and check this out. Love sifting through indie music to find the occasional rare gem.

Intriguing sound. Might have to Grooveshark it and see if I need to purchase.

Also, as a sidenote, I always and forever will associate 4AD as the label the Pixies were on.

@TheKidNixon:

Not a big Pixies guy, but I always knew them for being the label Dead Can Dance started on.

Yeah, man. 4AD puts out some good stuff. I only have one Deerhunter song on my iPod. I have every TV on the Radio album though. This is pretty good though. Nice find.

4AD seem to be on bit of a roll with their band choices, all of those are critically acclaimed and I like them aswell.

ehh i found the music unbalanced, choppy, and hard to listen to. It got worse and worse as I listened to it.

@Bruce: If it makes you feel any better, I was not wearing a shirt while listening to the video.

And to excite you a bit...I'm not wearing one now either.

The enounciation of her singing reminds me of Supergrass' "Alright"

As for "recent indie" music I've enjoyed. I discovered Chad VanGalen a few weeks ago. Nice and moody

I think this song trumps everything as a musical masterpiece:

WE LIKE THE MOON, NOT AS MUCH AS CHEESE THOUGH

Sort of reminds me of a less happy-uppy The Soviettes?
