St. Vincent Returns Home, Sings the National Anthem at a Little League Game in New Short Doc
Annie Clark, a.k.a. St. Vincent, a.k.a the reigning catsuit-clad goddess of rock, gives us a glimpse of her home state of Texas in a new short documentary. Directed by Alan Del Rio Ortiz, who followed Clark on most of her Digital Witness tour, the film shows her walking naked through a field à la “Rattlesnake,” successfully climbing a boulder in heeled booties, and singing a thoroughly St. Vincent version of “The Star-Spangled Banner” before what appears to be a local Little League baseball game. Gorgeous shots of Clark walking through fields of tall grass are layered with a voiceover in which she talks about her passion for performance, her creative drive, and coffee popsicles (or, as she dubs them, “coffsicles”). Given the otherworldly vibe the singer-songwriter usually gives off, it’s rare thing to see her come down to earth.
