St. Vincent Reveals Album Track 'Digital Witness'
St. Vincent - aka Annie Clark - has revealed 'Digital Witness' from her self-titled fourth album (due February 24) via BBC 6 Music's Breakfast Show yesterday morning, where it is featured as the Song of The Week.
The track tackles identity in the era of Instagram, with Clark singing, "If I can't show it / If you can't see me / What's the point of doing anything?" 'Digital Witness' follows the first sneak preview of the album, 'Birth In Reverse', which follows her last solo release, 2011's 'Strange Mercy', which was called "one of the year's best" by the New York Times
