    • Music Review: St. Vincent's art-rock burns bright on seventh album, 'All Born Screaming' | Sentinel Colorado | May 8, 2024, 12:58 p.m.
      • St. Vincent canonized her name in the 2010s with twitchy, dense compositions. On the 2021 release, "Daddy's Home," her last album, she embraced a looser, 1970s-infused sleaze funk. "All Born Screaming" continues a trend toward more accessible territory, seamlessly spinning elements of acid-jazz, industrial grind, retro-futurism and heavy distortion into apocalyptic walls of sound.

    I'm a fan of Spotify for music discovery and easy access to tunes on my devices. And Spotify's API was critical to building this website. But I know that Spotify is not the best way to financially support the artists I love. So, when I find myself listening to an album repeatedly I make a point of purchasing it via Bandcamp or a local record store. And I buy tickets to see musicians live (and often purchase merch at the venue.) I hope users of this site will do the same.

    Similarly, as a longtime public media journalist, I know that it takes considerable time and energy to produce the articles linked here. Please also support those writers and journalists. Subscribe to the sites you visit the most, or leave a donation where that's an option.
