The follow-up to St. Vincent's (Annie Clark's) first album MARRY ME (2007) features eleven new songs, all written and arranged by Clark. The arrangements are more masterful, the songwriting grander, the performances ever more confident and inspired. Clark toured extensively in support of MARRY ME with artists like the National, Death Cab for Cutie, and Arcade Fire, and was named Female Artist of the Year at the 2008 PLUG Independent Music Awards. Before recording as St. Vincent, she was a member of the Polyphonic Spree and Sufjan Stevens' touring band, and she performed with Glenn Branca's guitar orchestra. Look for her at SXSW, Bonnaroo, and Sasquatch.

The second studio album by musician St. Vincent, released by 4AD on May 4, 2009. The album received wide critical acclaim. In the 2009 Pazz & Jop albums survey, Actor ranked twelfth, and most of the songs on it received mentions for the singles survey.

Album No. 1 - The sound of the music is amazing, with tight production and inventive sounds sometimes up front, sometimes swirling around in the background. She has a distinctive sound, the closest comparison being to David Byrne/Talking Heads... Highly recommended

St. Vincent proves yet again how inventive she truly is. Actor is a showcase in the truest sense of the word. It's filled with varied soundscapes. We are treated a parade of musical ideas and ventures which sound horrifying and exquisitely beautiful at the same time.
