Pushkin.

These days, St. Vincent is on a whole new level, which is hard to believe, considering

if we're being honest, she's always been pretty damn incredible.

Let's take into account that not only are the

reviews of her current tour, the world tour, rave reviews, but she's touring behind the first

album of hers that she ever produced all on her own. The album's called All Born Screaming. And,

in a case of overachieving, she also just recently released a Spanish-language version of the album,

TOTOS Nac-Seng Gritando, which in many ways doesn't serve to replace the English language

version, but supplements it brilliantly, providing a renewed listening experience.

Of all the St. Vincent projects dating back to her debut album in 2007, this is the one

that feels the most steeped

in a singular vision, like an offering from anuteur. But as St. Vincent tells me in today's

episode, the production process behind this album was far from easy, and likely isn't one she'd

replicate again, or at least not on the next project that she's already busy writing.

We talk a bit about what it was like to tour this album,

a tour which continues well into the new year,

with some dates featuring Olivia Rodrigo, others in a cave,

and we talk about how she developed her high-level taste,

my words, not hers, despite growing up in the middle of the country pre-internet.

This is Broken Record.
