Annie Clark / St. Vincent – Guitar Moves – Pedal Board Breakdown

Annie Clark / St. Vincent - Guitar Moves - Pedal Board BreakdownThe cool thing about the inter-webs is learning about new things, new people, etc. It’s fun learning about new musicians. Some are super obscure (that no one knows about) or something that is new to me. I’m often late to the party, but I don’t mind, I still have fun. I feel like I’m late on this one – St. Vincent (or specifically Annie Clark). I’ve heard about St. Vincent during conversations, but I knew nothing about this band/musician. Never heard of a tune, etc. But this morning, I came across my new favorite video segment – Guitar Moves where Annie Clark (aka St. Vincent) talks shop.

The first thing that grabbed my attention was her style of playing. There is something very intriguing. I like the jerky, tension filled style she has. She has some interesting tones/noise, that I’m always a sucker for. Unique came to mind. Artistic. I like a musician that leaves an impression, immediately I wanted to rip off a lick or something. Here is the video..

I wanted to see what she was more about. The video mentions that she was playing with David Byrne, so I had to explore and see what this was about. Again, interesting.

Finally, I wanted to see what straight up St. Vincent was about. Here she is playing with a backing band. I’m still not 100% sure if St. Vincent is just Annie Clark or if it’s a collaborative effort. If anyone knows for sure, please let me know.

Okay, now I’ve exposed you to three videos and then I thought it would be cool to break down her pedal board. I was seeing glimpses in the Byrne video as well as the video above, and it looks pretty sweet.. so I wanted to dig. I discovered the Nice Rack Canada built this board for her. Nice Rack Canada is awesome by the way!

    Thank you so much for this one. St. Vincent is indeed Annie Clark alone as a solo musician but she’s touted with an amazing cast of rotating players over the years. One that springs to mind from her current band is Toko Yashuda from Blonde Redhead and Enon. While she mostly plays keys in St. Vincent’s band, she is a shredder on guitar as well. For more Annie, check out old Polyphinic Spree and Sufijan Stevens. She played with both. Thanks again for highlighting a guitar player that might not be on everyone’s radar.

    Pretty sure St. Vincent is Annie’s stage name. But her guitar work is fantastic, and her pedalboard is wonderful too. Her latest Record Store Day release is so heavy (its two tracks are essentially what amounts to a punk and a doom metal track) it makes me incredibly excited for her next album.

    I love St. Vincent/Annie Clark. Brilliant artist and she always has her own style for everything. Been a fan since ‘Actor’…
    Amazing stuff. Incredible in headphones… 🙂

    The DBA pedal is an Interstellar Overdriver Supreme, a discontinued item. These had the germanium/silicon switch.

    So crazy that she’s related to Tuck Andress. That dude is NUTS with harmonics.

    Hello,
    Do you know what she has her guitar tuned to in that guitar moves video?

    @keef: probably down a whole step. I only say this because she uses that tuning a lot, especially with a capo, on the Harmony Bobkat (I think because that guitar stays in tune after dive bombs, and the lower tuning also aids that).
