I recently rediscovered this video of St. Vincent(Annie Clark) while researching various old vintage archtop guitars. This was the first encounter with St. Vincent I had, and I was pretty disappointed when I checked out her album and it didn’t really sound anything like this. Her recorded sound involves lots of layers, effects and synths, sort of reminds me of 80’s era Kate Bush. It’s OK, but the stripped down sound in these videos is much more interesting. And that old Harmony archtop sounds amazing. The second video is a cool cover of the Beatles “Dig A Pony” using her Harmony Bobcat.
