And from heaven St. Vincent came

Annie Erin Clark is a one of a kind singer-songwriter multi-instrumentalist who's been keeping me company throughout my summer soundtrack.

If her name doesn't ring a bell, then you best know her as St.Vincent.

Currently residing in New York, she started out touring with Sufjan Stevens, bringing along her EP containing three tracks.

Now she's released 2 albums, mainly Marry Me under Beggars Banquet Records in 2007 and Actor in 2009.

She's opened shows for The National, Grizzly Bear, Death Cab for Cutie, and Arcade Fire which all happen to be a few of my favorites as well.

Her melodic almost transcendental take combined with her soulful honest lyrics is not only soothing to the ears, but to the gray matter as well.

A few of my favorite tracks include:

Just the Same but Brand New
The people on the street have overtaken you
By the time you rounded Second Avenue
So I walked away all perfumed
Felt just the same but brand new

And anything you wrote I checked for codes and clues
The letters stopped unceremoniously in June
So I changed my I's & A's to yours
I'm just the same but brand new

And I do my best impression of weightlessness now too
And I might be wrong, I might be wrong, I might be wrong
But honey I believed I could

Float away dangling
I'm just the same but brand new to You.
