For this edition of Audiography, we sat down with St. Vincent’s Annie Clark on the morning of her performance at last year’s Moogfest Music Festival. While hashing out last minute details regarding her ensuing European tour, Clark took some time out to talk about her latest album, last year’s CoS Album of the Year Strange Mercy, and her self-imposed exile to Seattle to write it.

We also spoke about her approach to songwriting, both in and out of the studio, crediting her mother, and working with the legendary Glenn Branca, as well as indie stalwarts the Polyphonic Spree, Sufjan Stevens, and Bon Iver.

More information is available on St. Vincent’s Facebook and Twitter page.
