ifuckinglovestvincent: THE 60 GREATEST SOLO ARTISTS OF ALL TIME, RANKED [GIGWISE]9. St Vincent: Annie Clark’s stage moniker isn’t an alter-ego exactly - it’s more an extension of her own fluctuating, ambiguous self. Revelling in falling somewhere in-between the rigid binaries of personhood - gender, sexuality, even genre - St. Vincent’s music follows an exquisitely crafted road to nowhere. Her every move on stage is a masterclass in performative theatricality, never once buying into the belief that authentic rock music must be messy, shambolic and ill-thought-out.
