We're crawling through Landmines this week as we explore St. Vincent's debut album Marry Me! Her unique, emotionally ambiguous polysemous lyrics paired with complex-but-intuitive instrumental arrangements bring this very gray self-made album to life in vibrant colors. We'll talk about her early life and the Sufjan Stevens connection that landed her a record deal! Then The Mixtaper will teach us about her vibe-matching voicemail butler, a few controversial outfits, a giant toilet, and "The Neon Pink Interview Cube." Discover murder ballads, decadent instrumentals, and war stories as All Our Stars Align and we go Human Racing through this album! Available everywhere Now, Now!
