The second tease from the upcoming self-titled St. Vincent album leans heavily towards the horn-adorned Love This Giant David Byrne collaboration, the brass blasting what sounds like an approximation of Death From Above 1979’s Black History Month riff. Annie’s gnarly guitar mastery is relegated into the background, which is a bit of a shame, but there’s still plenty to hold onto – especially the sardonic progression from “People turn the TV on it looks just like a window” into “People turn the TV on and throw it out the window”. Even when playing it relatively straight, Annie is still a goddamn superhero.
