New records by St. Vincent, the project of 38-year-old singer-songwriter Annie Clark, are one part of a larger multimedia work. Like David Bowie, one of her influences, Ms. Clark views each album as an opportunity to present a new persona, with songs linked by in-jokes and references. As an artist, she favors complexity. Her melodies are always a little knotty, the production has two or three more layers than some might find advisable. And her music smacks of effort.
In press notes and early interviews the sixth St. Vincent album, “Daddy’s Home” , out Friday, is described as especially personal, though we’ve heard that before. She is not a confessional artist, and she builds her creative worlds from the ground up. This time, however, the record comes with a highly specific backstory: Ms. Clark’s father served nine years in prison for financial crimes and was released in 2019.
