Noise Pop diaries: St. Vincent bathed Grace Cathedral in heartfelt sound - 48 hills
Briefly

St. Vincent, also known as Annie Clark, delivered a mesmerizing performance at San Francisco's Grace Cathedral as part of the Noise Pop festival. Bathed in dramatic red and white lighting, she captivated the audience with an unplugged session that emphasized tone over metrics, creating an intimate atmosphere. Opening with a soulful rendition of "Hell Is Near" alongside pianist Rachel Eckroth, Clark respected her audience's intelligence through heartfelt storytelling. This performance followed a successful month of recognition, including three Grammy Awards, solidifying her impact in the indie rock sphere.
Known for stirring up a magical guitar-led brew that ranges from pop to unclassified, Clark delivers rock in a heady, experimental, no rules attached, yet accessible form.
With an understated "Hello, San Francisco" they kicked off the show with a barebones "Hell Is Near," accompanied by keyboardist Rachel Eckroth on grand piano, which immediately quieted the anxious crowd.
