Freshly Squeezed Sound: St. Vincent

3 10 2007

Ya ever hear something that sounds so refreshing yet familiar at the same time? Familiar in a comfortable-nostalgic type of way? Familiar in a ’take me back to that day’ way? Even if you don’t, Now, Now by St. Vincent is one of the best first-time listens I’ve heard in a long long time , and when you listen to music for a living, it’s quite a nice break away from the predictable.

Long story short: St. Vincent’s debut album Marry Me is out now, featuring  single ‘Now, Now,’ and you can listen to tracks right on her website to see what we’re talking about. And we can now rest at last, I’ve finally heard the freshest new voice of 2007. We love you St. Vincent!
