Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

My local record shop got copies of Promises in this weekend. Meanwhile looks like VMP has pushed theirs until May which means there's a chance we won't get it until June shipments and that regret is once again creeping in. Luckily I found copies of Depeche Modes Violator and Dr Johns Gumbo to ease the sting.

No matter how many times I try to get into st vincent I just can't. Even the album with David Byrne who is one of my goats. Just can't. I know she's talented but I can't pinpoint it.

Maybe because she has a very posh yet mischievous art-savvy aesthetic that you don’t really enjoy! I think as a result, her sound comes off as pretentious. St Vincent is quirky and playful, but I think definitely grounded. Like her art pop and chamber pop is pretty but can be distorted too; but still, she’s always grounded and is kind of a perfectionist! But yeah, I think it’s because she has that semi-fancy, quirky, stiff, regal, aesthetic that can come off sounding pretentious! 💯

But I love it all because I’m royally superficial, playful and artsy myself.....just kidding! 🥴🙊🤪🙈
 
Also, you can tell St Vincent loved Sheila E.‘s song “Next Time Wipe The Lipstick Off Your Collar” because it’s such a posh, lamenting, regretful vocal performance with grandiose and lavish in sound arrangements! Like that song from the 80’s is so St Vincent. And even Sheila E.‘s “Oliver House” - a very playful, tongue in cheek song yet quite a sombre and dull vocal performance with a pretty falsetto - is very much a song that sounds completely like St. Vincent’s style! Both songs are that same Sheila E album - In The Glamorous Life - so I’m sure St Vincent loved that album! But she could never be as glamorous and opulent aesthetically than what Sheila E. was on that album!
 
I really like St. Vincent and had fun seeing her live but she does kind of seem like she lets the musicality take the back seat to her performance art thing. It’s interesting to watch but she’s so so so tightly controlled that sometimes it feels overly processed choppy and unnatural in a way that puts me on edge. Definitely not a relaxing artist to listen to.

Then, again, there are so many musicians that are doing a more natural folksy americana thing right now that her music can be kind of refreshingly different. I just have to be in the mood for it - it’s cool within a very specific context.

I loved the last revision of St. Vincent, but I'm not really digging this current one.

I actually love the two singles off St Vincent’s upcoming album so far! The first single - Pay Your Pain Away - is such a demented sexy song; I love St Vincent’s sweaty, dirty, semi Betty Davis vocals and love the quirky Prince like production! It’s got that Janelle Monae rockstar energy! Pay Your Way in Pain also sounds very dizzying and trapped; the vocals sounding very close to the mic and the fuzzy production produce this immersive/trippy effect! This is easily one of my favourite St Vincent songs! 🎯

Her second single - The Melting Of The Sun - is an absolutely beautiful song that has a hazy, layered, psychedelic sound to it! I can hear Stevie Wonder and Prince influences in it and I think St Vincent’s mellow, blurred, slow-burning calm vocals add a lot to that pretty 70’s instrumental! I love the track and love the direction St Vincent is going! It feels more organic to me compared to her last few albums and I love that 70’s glam/funk/soul production we’re getting so far!! ✅

I’m very excited for Daddy’s Home and I think we’re in for St Vincent’s sexiest album yet! 😍😈💋

I've not been able to really get into her much through the years, myself, but I do absolutely love Pay Your Way In Pain!

It’s such an extraordinary banger! The vocals and production are layered and the song overall is quite alternative and quirky, but you can hear the strong 70’s funk/Prince influence! Pay Your Way In Pain sees St Vincent letting her guard down in a really good way! I’m looking super forward to hearing the rest of the album!
 
Seems to be some confusion surrounding a Saba repress.

Just a heads up- Messaged VMP CS and they confirmed that there will not be a Saba drop today after originally confirming there would be one.

When I asked if it was coming to the VMP store at all, I was told that my best chance of getting it would be through Saba’s site because the details of the pressing are “pretty vague” to VMP.

VMP was shady and misleading in their communication around something? WEIRD

It's such a weird disconnect too. First they confirm and then say it's not going to happen? I'd almost be willing to bet it shows up despite all that. What's happening with April represses anyway? Almost a week in and not a peep.
