St. Vincent Daddy's Home (Colv) (Gry)

4 stars out of 5 -- "Clark's howling vocals and delightfully angular synths on 'Pay Your Way in Pain' make it one of the strongest album openings of the year."
Included in Rolling Stone's "The 50 Best Albums of 2021" -- "Slinky, smart, and gloriously down-and-out, St. Vincent's latest brings us back to the New York of the Velvet Underground..."
"[S]he's settled in with the grit and shabby-chic glamor of early '70s Manhattan: heels on the subway, bodega roses, threats of love, violence and disillusion around every corner."
"The '70s-evoking songs on DADDY'S HOME -- at times gauzy, bluesy, or shredding -- reflect an artist solely in control of her work, never afraid to snarl or shout."
"[With] louche tales of benzo beauty queens and bodega roses, filtered through the wah-wah guitar haze and slithering disco-funk of a lost '70s AM-radio transmission."
4 stars out of 5 -- "Musically, DADDY'S HOME feels warmer than anything St Vincent has done before, trading in cold precision for looser rock'n'roll sounds that act as a kind of portal into her memories."
Paste (magazine) - "The album flickers between dreamy jams and '70s ballads, between horn-filled funk and soul backup singers.
Clash (Magazine) - "[A] record that is revealing, nuanced, and deeply emotional."
