It's true! 

Some time ago Eclipse tweeted some lyrics and the release date of the new single (which may be coming this Friday). The new album apparently comes out May 14th! We won

From the comments on the video:
"It's static, a woman's voice saying hello, then a male announcer that sounds very 70's lets us know that daddy's home. Music plays in the background."
"I heard Annie saying hello multiple times and "St. Vincent like you've never heard her before featuring the new single: Pay Your Way in Pain" with what I assume is that song playing in the background at a very low quality."
"i called and it was some sexy saxophone and an announcement for her new upcoming album “featuring the new single: pay your way in pain”"

 

thank u! i am so excited– none of her work since strange mercy has hit as hard as that album did for me (damn its perfect) but she's always pushing herself to try new things which i always appreciate– very excited to see her next move.

It's a grower for me but it does slap and I love how sardonic it is omg

[lamms 11,603]

There is a comment comparing this to Bowie's Young Americans era and I don't really see it. Plastic Soul wasn't this bold. This is definitely more of a Golden Years situation

FUCK ME what a nightmare 

[electra 20,630]

can anyone explain why the 8 track has a completely different tracklist? we got copies but we're not familiar with the format and we're confused? its split into "programs"?

[Off To The Races 2010 demo pls 19,334]

It gives me self-titled vibes

An 8-track tape consisted of a 1/4"-wide magnetic tape mounted in a continuous loop around a single reel in a plastic cartridge. The tape moved at 3.75 in. per second, and at the end of a track a piece of conductive foil caused the player to change tracks. The single-reel structure could only move forward, so no rewind feature was possible. Another drawback was the fact that albums at the time were typically designed for vinyl records, which had two sides, and often lacked good break points at the one-quarter and three-quarters marks needed to divide them into the tracks of an 8-track, so sometimes songs were divided between two tracks with a noticeable pause in between, or other rearrangements were done to the album.

Sort of like a LP in "cassette" format. There are 8 tracks on the tape, where you can store up to 4 songs (stereo; 8 mono). That way your reach the length of a LP. So a program is basically what a LP side would be

that's awesome! it'll be a cool thing to have. i'd love to play it to see how it works but it feels like the kind of thing where if you damaged it it would be a nightmare - like how cassettes are really prone to breaking.

Yeah it's definitely a cool collectible and fits the time well, however the quality is even worse than a cassette and wears more easily because of how it works.

yeah, this definitely feels more like a collectors piece than something you would ever want to use. and a pretty expensive one at that. i give her props for the creativity tho, wish lana would do something random and fun like this
