St. Vincent
St. Vincent

St. Vincent blurs the lines between innovation and accessibility. She tests, and even destroys, boundaries. The tension that results from such musical experimentation is what makes her music so infectious: Pounding dance rhythms come and go, synthesized blasts of sound pulse and throb, angular guitars cut and slice. All the nervous musical activity partially, but not totally, masks the wit and bite of the lyrics.
They say that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. It's certainly coming in like a lion this year with a dusting to an inch of snow and temps in the 20s today. Perhaps we can appease the weather gods by playing songs that mention lions. Leave your suggestions in the comments below and we'll spin a set after 9am.
Here's what we played this morning:
"The Lion's Roar" - First Aid Kit
"Wondering Where the Lions Are" - Bruce Cockburn
"All Things All At Once" - Tired Pony
