Annie Clark a/k/a St. Vincent, has announced the release of her sixth album ‘Daddy’s Home’, set for release on May 14th, 2021.
“Daddy’s Home collects stories of being down and out in downtown NYC. Last night’s heels on the morning train. Glamour that’s been up for three days straight,”says St. Vincent, of her latest work.
In the winter of 2019, as her previous album MASSEDUCTION’s title track won the GRAMMY for Best Rock Song and the album won Best Recording Package, St. Vincent’s father was released from prison.
She began writing the songs that would become Daddy’s Home, closing the loop on a journey that began with his incarceration in 2010, and ultimately led her back to the vinyl her dad had introduced her to during her childhood.
The records she has probably listened to more than any other music in her entire life. Music made in sepia-toned downtown New York from 1971-1975. The first glimpse of the album arrivbes in the form of Pay Your Way In Pain
‘Daddy’s Home’ is out May 14, 2021 on Loma Vista Recordings. Pre-Save the album now, or pre-order your choice of 8-track (if you know, you know…), CD, Vinyl, Deluxe Vinyl, and Cassette. Or visit https://lnk.ilovestvincent.
The album was produced by Annie Clark and Jack Antonoff, recorded by Laura Sisk, mixed by Cian Riordan, and mastered by Chris Gehringer. The music was performed by Annie, Jack, Cian, Thomas, Evan Smith, Sam KS, Greg Leisz, Daniel Hart, Michael Leonhard, Lynne Fiddmont and Kenya Hathaway. And Candy Darling lived within and presided over it all.
“And your wig, blonde, rolls home waving from the latest uptown train
I never wanna leave your perfect candy dream
So candy darling I brought bodega roses for your feet and candy my sweet I hope you will be coming home to me”
… Daddy’s Home.
