[[caption-width-right:345:Annie Clark (a.k.a. St. Vincent)]]
St. Vincent is the {{stage name}} of multi-instrumentalist Annie Clark. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Annie was part of The Polyphonic Spree [a choral symphonic rock band] and part of the {{Sufjan Stevens}}' touring band before going solo with the name St. Vincent, which she claims to be either a reference to Saint Vincent's Catholic Medical Center, where the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas died in 1953, or her grandmother's middle name.

As of 2012, she has released four albums, one of them a collaboration with David Byrne:
* ''Marry Me'' (2007)
* ''Actor'' (2009)
* ''Strange Mercy'' (2011)
* ''Love This Giant'' (2012)

St. Vincent also opened shows to diverse bands like Television, {{Arcade Fire}}, {{Death Cab for Cutie}}, Grizzly Bear and Andrew Bird. She and Bon Iver also composed the song ''Roslyn'', part of the ''{{New Moon}}'' soundtrack- as one of the examples of critically-acclaimed musicians associated with the ''{{Twilight}}'' movies.

Annie Clark's music contains heavy guitar riffs (her signature instrument) together with somehow melodic singing and melodies, and [[LyricalDissonance angry lyrics]].

!!Relevant tropes related to her or her music are:
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: "Surgeon"
-->Best finest surgeon
-->Come cut me open
** Also, "The Apocalypse Song":
-->All your praying moments amount to just one breath
-->Please keep your victory
-->But give me little death[[hottip:*:in French, "little death" (''la petite mort'') is a metaphor for an orgasm]]
* IntercourseWithYou: "Surgeon", again.
* LastNoteNightmare: "Black Rainbow" is a rather calm and melodic song (even though it contains some really [[LyricalDissonance depressing lyrics]]) that ends with some really heavy guitar distortion.
* LyricalDissonance: ''Oh so much''. "Now, Now", "Black Rainbow", "Laughing With a Mouth of Blood", "Cheerleader", "The Bed"... The list could go on and on.
* MoustacheDePlume
* RavenHairIvorySkin
* TheSomethingSong: "The Apocalypse Song".
* ShoutOut: The lines "best finest surgeon, come cut me open", from the song "Surgeon", were originally written by [[MarilynMonroe Marilyn Monroe]] on her diary. The title of her first album, ''Marry Me'', also came after an episode from ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment''.
