Watch A MASSEDUCTION Press Conference Via Facebook Live

06 September 2017 (Toronto, ON) – St. Vincent – aka Annie Clark - has announced has new album, MASSEDUCTION, to be released October 13 on Loma Vista Recordings / Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company.  Themes of power and sex, imperiled relationships and death slice through the album, Clark’s first since her 2014 breakout St. Vincent. 

The thirteen tracks on MASSEDUCTION swirl with guitar and piano, synths and strings, and drum beats that punch with purpose.  The album was co-produced by St. Vincent and Jack Antonoff at Electric Lady Studios in Manhattan, with additional recording at Rough Consumer Studio in Brooklyn, and Compound Fracture in Los Angeles.

“Every record I make has an archetype,” says Clark.  “Strange Mercy was Housewives on Pills. St. Vincent was Near-Future Cult Leader.  MASSEDUCTION is different, it’s pretty first person. You can’t fact-check it, but if you want to know about my life, listen to this record.”

Today, Clark hosted a press conference on MASSEDUCTION on Facebook Live, which you can watch in full here.  She also released a brand-new song, “Los Ageless”, from the album today which is available at all digital retailers now. Listen to the track here.

Last week, Clark released the first video from the record deemed “a visual feast” by Vogue.  Watch “New York” here:

MASSEDUCTION is the culmination of years of writing, with songs crafted from voice memos, text messages, and snippets of melodies that came to Clark while traveling the globe.  Special guests on the album include Thomas Bartlett on piano, Kamasi Washington on saxophone, Jenny Lewis on vocals, and beat production from Sounwave.  Greg Leisz and Rich Hinman add pedal steel, and Tuck and Patti Andress contribute guitar and vocals respectively on select tracks.

St. Vincent’s 2014 self-titled album was her best-reviewed and best-selling to date, topping many year-end lists and culminating in her first GRAMMY® nomination and win for Best Alternative Music Album in 2015.  Shortly after the album’s release Clark performed with a re-formed Nirvana at the 2014 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and on the 2014 season finale of Saturday Night Live. In 2015 Clark won the ASCAP Vanguard Award and she was 2017’s Record Store Day Ambassador.
