St. Vincent’s self-titled fourth album is the culmination of all the quirky, musical ambition she’s put on display in the past, placed neatly in a tight, 40 minute package. Start to finish, the album runs almost like a greatest hits catalog; it’s a parade of high-quality alternative tracks that are short, but pointed and energetic. The glitchy, almost robotic guitar riffs on “Birth in Reverse” and the funky, splatting horns and bass on “Digital Witness” probably create the most memorable moments on the album. Throughout though, St. Vincent captures our attention with her unpredictable melodies, killer guitar playing, witty lyrics and weirdo vocal performance.
