Single Review: St Vincent – Marrow (4AD)

St Vincent's single Marrow is a beautifully insightful, subtle pop track that builds to a percussive synth blitz, showing experimental music can still be interesting.

CMU Editorial CMU Editorial

Still effortlessly cool and avant-garde, and with the breezy pop subtlety of before, St. Vincent remains a beautifully insightful, less contrived take on the Bat For Lashes school of nuanced, female pop performance. Treading water for a whole minute before the percussive punch comes, 'Marrow' sees the calm before the storm, but can't wait to get wet. Then it's time for a Yeah Yeah Yeahs-style synth blitz to shake up the strings, and remember why we all loved that debut album. Natasha Khan take note – you can still keep music intriguing and experimental, but also make it interesting too.
