All Born Screaming
All Born Screaming is the seventh studio album by American rock musician St. Vincent, released on April 26, 2024, through her own Total Pleasure Records[3] and distributed via Virgin Music Group.The record features contributions from Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters, Cate Le Bon, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Josh Freese, Stella Mozgawa of Warpaint, Rachel Eckroth, Mark Guiliana, and David Ralicke of Dengue Fever.[7] Clark shared the lead single "Broken Man", an "industrial menacing rock" piece, on February 29, 2024, along with a music video directed by Alex Da Corte.[13] Paste described All Born Screaming as "career-spanning time capsule harboring the flourishes of her greatest eras" that incorporates elements of lounge, noise rock, baroque, funk, chamber pop and electronica.[16] The track "Sweetest Fruit" includes an ode to the late music producer Sophie, who died in 2021 and whom Clark admired, and is about "people trying for transcendence, and at least they were taking a big swing or trying for something beautiful".[25] Similarly, the Financial Times commended Clark's ability to undergo a Bowie-esque reinvention with a "rebirth" that focusses less on taking on a persona and more on writing songs that cut "very close to the bone".[28] Jordan Bassett, in a four-star review for NME, praised the vulnerability displayed by Clark with lyrics "besieged by loss", making the album her "most generous and open statement yet".
