Annie Clark, who performs under the name of St. Vincent, has put out three albums in the past few years and has collaborated with any number of musical groundbreakers, such as Beck, Andrew Bird, and The Polyphonic Spree.

This past week, she released the 7″ Grot (with Krokodil on the B side) in honor of Record Store Day. This five plus minute piece is a strange but engrossing exploration of melodic repetition, combined with an almost acidic guitar and vocal. With lyrics like ‘Power doesn’t care what you want; Power doesn’t care what you need’, this song’s cyclical motion is almost hypnotic and absolutely psychedelic.

All hail the Record Store Day. What is it, I hear you say? Well, it’s an international event created to support independent record stores, which takes place every year on the third Saturday of April. So what does it mean for us, the punters? A banquet of music festivities! I’ll be popping down to my local Rough Trade East in London as they’re hosting ten acts in ten hours, including a DJ set from Andrew Weatherall, and live music from Wave Machines, Ebony Bones, and Let’s Wrestle. Special edition vinyl will be selling, too. Hmmm, I wonder if I can snag some Antony & the Johnsons.
