In the recent slew of releases to actually look forward to glares at 2008], [St. Vincent -- also known as Annie Clark -- will release Actor, the follow-up to her 2007 debut Marry Me. Clark herself stepped behind the boards alongside John Congleton (who has worked with Modest Mouse and The Polyphonic Spree) and enlisted a few handfuls of musicians (who have also worked with famous people like Sufjan Stevens and Philip Glass). The album drops May 5 via 4AD.
Since I have a massive girl crush on St. Vincent, this exciting news has already influenced me to start happily waving in merging cars left and right. 2009 is indeed looking up so far.
