Who is St. Vincent and what is her musical background?
St. Vincent's new album, Just Out, is called Mass Seduction. I asked her about the title track.
This is Toko Yasuda, who plays in my live band. I wanted her to pretend like she was an alien describing how to seduce someone, but in Japanese.
Why Japanese?
Because a couple of reasons. One, a totally self-serving one, which is that I love Japan and I want to be big in Japan so that I can go there all the time. I mean, I'm not above strategy.
Why did you decide to make this track the title track? In other words, how does it shape the whole of the album, the conception of the album, the themes of the album?
It's more or less kind of like a thesis. It's more or less, it contains all the characters that you meet on the album. It's... I thought of it like a graduate thesis or something.
A graduate thesis?
Yeah.
Well, how would you summarize it? What is the thesis? Because the album is just coming out. How would you describe it?
