DON'T LOOK BACK IN ANGER : THE ALBUMS, 2017.


18/st. vincent/masseduction

She can’t turn off what turns her on. And on album number five, that which entices & tickles her senses is also the light and guiding force behind the wonderfully quirky and angular new wave pop contained within, presented in technicolor. Annie's Masseduction steams and hisses in an eroticism that is both emotional and physical (and often times confrontational). It’s there in the album cover, and it's present in her naked honesty and vulnerability, found in every chorus and verse, reminding us of the deft storyteller and painter of images she is, and continues to be. It's sex, love, and rock & roll, buttressed by a vibrant canvas that bends pop & guitars to her whims and their spastic breaking points, with titillation for the masses, dressed up in leather and Annie Clark's love, pleading with you to get physical in order to get down and get free.
