Over on Pitchfork today, you can read an interview the site has posted with Dallas native Annie Clark (aka St. Vincent), whose upcoming disc we're quite excited about 'round here.

And, actually, it's quite the lovefest of a piece: Interviewer Ryan Dombel calls Clark a "disturbingly gifted new talent" without even blinking an eye. We'd take issue with that except, um, we're right there with him.

Anyway, the always delightful Clark shares some interesting tidbits in the piece. Like how she's not schizophrenic. And how she listens to Disney music while riding public transportation. And how she dreams about that guy from Twilight. (Oh, to be a vampire...)

She also has some kind words for area producer/Paper Chase frontman John Congleton: "[He] has this great word for super gnarly guitars: 'abortiony.' He's probably gonna see this interview, and I just want him to know that he's a peach. Can that be the headline?"
