This Song: St. Vincent (Rerun)
In this episode, St. Vincent explores how music from early Disney films helped her lay the foundation for beauty and wonder in her life and work.
“All that stuff, it’s your first introduction to magic…You know I think like, every kid wishes they could be in a cartoon. Like you wish so deeply that your reality could be transmuted into that world, and music is the closest you get to come to it.”
She also explains why she approached the songs on Masseduction with a Disney-esque lack of irony.
“That was just sort of a tenet from the beginning…I just felt like OK, what’s the thing that I haven’t done, and I was like I don’t feel like I’ve gone straight for the heart and the jugular.”
St. Vincent and Carrie Brownstein have a new film coming out called The Nowhere Inn, which will be showing at the SXSW 2020 Film Festival
