Marry Me established Annie Clark as a coolly confident visionary. Actor, the second album from St. Vincent, is where that vision congeals into formidable shape. From Technicolor film scores to abrasive art-rock, Clark takes us to her version of Oz, over the rainbow and out the other side, where swelling strings mingle with jagged but precise guitar leads, and splendor gives way to dark menace with nary a warning. In fact, so fully realized is the sound of St. Vincent that it's sometimes too easy to overlook Clark's quirky and slightly uneasy character studies. At the same time, her deceptively unaffected but still upfront persona takes the focus away from her inimitable off-kilter arrangements and inventive musicianship. In other words, it's a bundle of contradictions unlike many others, so nearly sui generis that it's impossible to guess where she'll go next, other than even further up, up, and away.
