Podcast cover

Fresh Air

The podcast features an interview with St. Vincent, a singer-songwriter and guitarist, focusing on her musical influences, creative processes, and recent work. St. Vincent discusses how formative experiences like discovering Nirvana at a young age and touring with her aunt and uncle, the jazz duo Tuck and Patty, shaped her artistic path. She also explores the use of persona in her performances and the intensely personal nature of her album "All Born Screaming," which deals with themes of life, death, and love. The conversation touches on her influences, including David Bowie and Leonard Cohen, and the importance of music as a means of processing chaos and finding meaning.
