  Daddy's Home

  If we could ask Schrödinger his thoughts on St. Vincent , he would undoubtedly find some way of explaining how, in one of the infinite alternate realities, Annie Clark has achieved the commercial success she deserves. "Critics? Schmitics," he'd say, violently gesticulating in the direction of the nearest cat. "Cash is what makes the world go round, and this woman deserves to be rich."

  Blood Bunny

  Indebted to an array of genres, you'll find '00s acoustic-guitar driven pop, as well as pop-punk inspired moments - there's even a reference to Canadian staples Simple Plan in "Favourite Band". Moriondo's vocals deftly move between these styles, topping each sonic landscape with a cherry-sweet timbre, honest lyrics and an often nonchalant performance.
