To highlight the musical layers of her songs, the brain behind St Vincent decided to strip them bare for MassEducation. Co-produced with pianist Thomas Bartlett, it is a fully acoustic – vocals and piano – reinterpretation of her album Masseduction released a year before, in October 2017. For the fans who know her electric tracks by heart, it is without doubt an intense and beautiful experience. For others, it may take a bit of getting used to. This stylistic exercise also showcases Clark’s vocal capabilities, a true vocalist and comedian who takes even her smallest ideas all the way. In fact it is her voice that fills the instrumental bareness and makes this album such an enchanting experience.
