St. Vincent!!!

Following on from my post of her music on the youtube vid page.... Just realised she pretty much does all the instruments herself, she composes and arranges...

St. Vincent!!!

Will definitely be checking that out...my digitech whammy is waiting for me at the post office and I ordered some AC128 Germaniums for a Fuzz Factory build now thanks to her inspiration...I think my guitar-playing life has just taken a drastic turn for the best ?

+1 to what Alan said. I was initially reminded of Abba (which is weird..for me).
Nice voice and good production, but not my cup of tea because i'm not big on fuzz.
I'm still hung up on SRV ?

She uses a new pedalboard with a DBA Overdriver and ZVEX Mastroton, and an Eventide space and pitchfactor, all MIDI controlled. It is rather rad. I want a Space so bad after seeing her use one...

If you guys like St Vincent, check out David Byrne & St. Vincent. Lacking some fuzzly awesomeness, but the music is still pretty great.

That mastodon is MEAN.

2.10 is a complete hijack of her tone.
Haha I love it, she kind of has it more gated with a Fender amp you get more highs and lows less mids.....

First song is one of the best... some classy reverb playing too

Kalcium

Yeah, no doubt about it, even besides the fuzz madness she can actually play!

For those not into the fuzziness quite so much this is quite hendrixy...

I wanna see if I cant find some more of this type of playing from her...will be sure to post if I do...must say I really enjoy both styles though...any idea what shes using on her voice? I assume its a harmonising vocal effects pedal or possibly a kind of detune chorus effect?

Sounds like chorus or a doubling effect (detuning pitch shift with a short delay).

Much like the detune on the digitech whammy...makes sense, thanks ?

She's incredibly good! I can't believe you got to play on the same stage as her Mika, that's unbelievably cool. Definitely one of my all time favourite guitarists.

Her writing is also awesome, huge drum sound, crazy fuzz tones and, as has been mentioned before, not a bad face either!

I love this performance of Marrow:

And this is awesome:

Those are awesome vids! Shes clearly one of us with regards to pedals! ...but now I want an eventide space...

Might have been Mika a couple years back ?

Kalcium

I love her!! Wow she has a really cool sound. First thing I thought as I listened to Chloe in the afternoon on the 4ad sessions was... American Horror Story. Something about her frightens me... and I like it.
