"Daddy's Home collects stories of being down and out in downtown NYC. Last night's heels on the morning train. Glamour that's been up for three days straight." - St. Vincent

Like the albums of the era it was inspired by, Daddy's Home takes time to unfold in listeners' imaginations. It's much more of a mood than anything else in her body of work, but its hazy reconciliation of the good and bad of the past makes it as an uncompromising statement from her as ever.

St. Vincent is a musical chameleon of the highest order, and somewhere out there, the late, great David Bowie is nodding his abject Aladdin Sane-approval... Who's your Daddy? Based on the repeat listening pleasures of these formidable 45 minutes, St. Vincent most decidedly is.
