Ahead of her appearance on Saturday Night Live this weekend, St. Vincent released a second track from her upcoming album, Daddy’s Home.
“The Melting of the Sun” — which happens to be the fifth song on the album — continues the retro grimy NYC vibe put forth by “Pay Your Way in Pain” just under a month ago, and it certainly seems like Annie Clark will be going with a full vintages sound for the new release. The lyrics also take a deep dive into Clark’s inspirations both in and out of the music world, ranging from Pink Floyd to Joni Mitchell to Marilyn Monroe.
Check out the new track below.
To complete the retro feel of Daddy’s Home, the album is available to pre-order in a variety of classic formats in addition to the standard vinyl/digital/CD offerings, such as a $10 cassette or $35 8-track. It’s Clark’s sixth album, and the first since 2017’s award-winning Masseduction.
