Singer/songwriter St. Vincent (Annie Clark) is known for her funky vibes in her records as well as the outfits she chooses -- but that's all being put aside this Record Store Day.
Also well known for her incredible cover songs, from Prince, to Led Zeppelin or Nirvana, Clark will be adding to her repertoire with a Record Store Day "drop" on July 17.

St. Vincent told us last month that she was "dead set" on making a heavy record this time around. "Like just heavy the whole time -- like, 'hey kids, you like TOOL? Well, you'll love the St. Vincent record,' you know?" So, it looks like this new offering could hold fans over for a while. "I got sort of down a road with that, but I kept finding that I didn't have anything to say there," she admits. "It didn't feel anything, to go more angular or harder... but where it did feel like something, and felt free and fun and fresh - and a lot of other 'f' words, was to just go back to the music I've listened to more than anything else."
For fans who may be selfishly hoping to hear something like that 'TOOL record' at some point: "We'll get there, don't worry," Clark says.
