St Vincent opens up about her father's prison incarceration on gritty new album 

Annie Clark may revisit the sound of 1970s New York on Daddy's Home, but it's all underpinned by her father's 10-year jail stint for white-collar crime 

St Vincent, aka Annie Clark, is releasing new album Daddy's Home. 

Annie Clark has spent a career inventing characters. On 2011’s Strange Mercy, she was a tranquillised suburban housewife, while 2017’s Masseduction saw her transform into a deranged leather-clad rock heroine.

On Daddy’s Home, her sixth and newest album as St Vincent, she visits early 1970s New York, channelling the grit of the city through funk, proto-punk guitars and jagged rhythms. Simultaneously, the record addresses her most personal topic yet – her father’s recent release from prison following a decade-long stint for his part in a multi-million dollar stock scheme.
