My Big, Gigantic Drum Kit

NPR Music is streaming the new St. Vincent album.

Second listen in, and I’m pretty sure that this tops Actor, at least in terms of pacing and texture; I haven’t absorbed the lyrics much yet.  In fact, I’m not sure I’ve even gotten to the songs, really.  There’s so much to digest in terms of riffs and unorthodox arrangement/production touches that I find myself getting caught up in the details.  Not a bad thing in my book.
