Excellent news. I'd imagine tickets will be like gold dust.

Mrs Shuttleworth

Great she's playing but pity it's the Olympia. Terrible sightlines and acoustics last few times I was there (the crowd management is poxy) and vowed never again. I would have thought she'd be big enough for a 3 Arena show.

Is there any hoops you need to jump through to access the pre-sale?

She would fill the Bord Gais theatre but the three arena would not be a big seller. She did not sell out the Iveagh gardens last time.
I agree with you on the Olympia, its a very poor cramped venue.

Yes never thought of Bord Gais but I don't know if they permit a standing area.

There's definitely a need for a custom venue in Dublin for these mid sized gigs.

Birneybau

Have seen her support Grizzly Bear in Vicar Street and then solo in Button Factory, Olympia and Iveagh Gardens. Not too gone on last album and as said before, Olympia can be a pain.

Button Factory (Strange Mercy) tour was incredible.

Mrs Shuttleworth

Saw the artwork today for her tour. She seems to be going for a kitsch 80s retrowave vibe to the whole thing so the new album should be a killer.

I wonder will the show be grander in scope than earlier tours (and can it please be moved from the Olympia )

caviardreams

Agree - from the look of the artwork, seems to be a similar vibe and probably a large scale production tour wise like the last tour e.g. iveagh gardens. Wish there was a new track or two out before tickets go on sale mind you!

Just for the VIP experience nonsense.  Which wasn't available at the purchase step anyway.

Presale for tickets was meant to start today too according to the St Vincent web site with PW: FUTUREFEAR, but no option on TM to enter the presale code....

She has 2 nights off after the Fri Olympia gig so there is a high possibility that the Sat night will be added too.

I presume I've missed the boat on the pre-sale, but just in case: is there anyway of getting a pre-sale code now?

Thanks to those for the heads up on these tickets. Managed to get 2 handily earlier. Looking forward to this gig.

Arghus

What do people reckon will be the chances of this selling out - particularly standing - before tomorrow/Friday? Cash is real toight. I'd be gutted if I miss this gig.

If it does sell out ,there is a high possibility of the Saturday night being added as there is a gap in the touring schedule.

Sandwell

Cheers for posting the code. Can't wait to see her again. I managed to see her three times on the last tour and each one was a treat. She's one of the best live acts of her generation.

I think it's a safe bet that we will. The first single has just been released.

Looking and sounding great on the Jools show tonite.

New material is a bit different from what I expected, though granted there's only a couple of tracks out so far.

breakfasttime

New album out today! On the first listen now really liking it. Masseduction is prince-esque and sugarboy is giving me Donna summer I feel love vibes. Can't wait for next week, happy Friday everyone.

Really not feeling the new album. Where is St Vincent gone

St Vincent could break wind into a septic tank and The Ticket would give her four stars.

The new album sounds like Gaga in 2008.

Birneybau

I was a huge fan up to 'Strange Mercy' and the album she did with David Byrne 'Love This Giant', have seen her at least 4 times, but she ain't for me anymore.

mosstin

I like it a lot.

Sandwell

The new album is fantastic. It's a change of style but one for the better I think. Can't wait for Friday.

Wouldn't go as far as saying she isn't for me anymore, but I sorta concur with what you're saying. Absolutely loved Actor and Strange Mercy. Still gutted to this day that I missed her at The Button Factory when she was touring Strange Mercy.

Don't know if this is the right thread or the right forum for this, but considering every other music forum except this one is largely tumbleweed -

I remember listening to Actor back in '09 and thinking, yeah, this one is the real deal and I pushed that album onto a lot of people. And then when Strange Mercy came out I was fully ready to argue that she was a genius. It was great to see her start to get recognition.

Love This Giant didn't really do it for me, but it was a collaboration. But the self titled... I dunno. I initally thought it was fantastic, but after a few spins down the road I found myself kind of bored by it. I felt the songs sounded great at first, but they didn't have the depth of her earlier stuff. For me a large part of what really turned me onto her was the part of her sound that mixed the pretty, even the beautiful, with the jagged and discordant. I thought the earlier records were personal, but on the self-titled she had started singing from the perspective of a persona somewhat. I thought it all got a bit gimmicky: every photo of her was artfully worked out and there seemed to be a lot of spectacle for spectacle's sake going on.

I know the world at large felt different - she became a much, much bigger deal after that album and people kept heaping superlatives on it. But I'm of the opinion that a lot of that had to do with the fact that a lot of the press and media hadn't really given her much thought or listens before and then, all of sudden, there was this outlandish looking singer with relatively interesting sounding songs - Five Stars! And I do think the self titled is, if taken in isolation, a very strong set of songs, but it doesn't hit the heights that she reached before that point.

Don't get me wrong I still am going to give this album a good few listens before I reach a verdict. First impressions are that it's busy - and that's not a bad thing. And I still think she's got it going on and I sincerely hope the gig will be mind-blowing, but when I read the quoted comment above I knew what you meant.

Birneybau

I caught her at the Button Factory on that tour, supporting Grizzly Bear in Vicar Street during the 'Actor' period and in the Olympia before the s/t album came out. I definitely caught her another time as well.

None of her tracks after 'Strange Mercy' can touch the previous output...in my opinion. Also, in my opinion, she's not the same artist.

MyPeopleDrankTheSoup

any idea of her setlist at body soul 2012? i wasn't a fan back then, was doing nothing in the campsite, waiting for m83. hate when that happens

Sandwell

I've been a fan since Actor and while I enjoyed the earlier albums immensely I'm glad she's decided to experiment with different styles and personas. That kind of versatility is extremely rare and should be celebrated. How often do we see artists running out of ideas after three or four albums? It's usually that or threading water pleasantly while preaching only to the converted. Clark is one of the rare ones who's got the ambition and talent to try new things and pull them off. She's done the same with her stage persona. I can understand how the stylistic shifts can alienate people too of course, it depends on your tolerance for the poppier stuff she's currently producing. Sounding like Gaga in 2008 isn't a bad thing in my book!

She's correctly trying to be commercial but also retain critical approval. That was the norm years ago.

I think streaming actually has brought its own problems as well as benefits. Music listened through those platforms just sounds more disposable and throwaway overall.

I like her new album, it just sounds a bit too contemporary (IMHO) for the marketing campaign that's gone with it and for the tour. I thought it would be very dirty electro funk with a warm vintage analog feel, and for something that took so long to be released it sounds a bit rushed and incoherent.

Sandwell

Last night's London show seems to have proved divisive. Friday will be interesting.

brevity

Would love to see her. She came to Cork a few years back and was excellent. Love the tracks on the new album.
