Based on her early collaborations with Sufjan Stevens, it didn't seem likely that Annie Clark would transform herself into the monolithic guitar goddess known as St. Vincent. Channelling her wide-ranging influences, Clark proved to be much more than just a compelling voice, showing off her chops as a composer of baroque arrangements on 2007's Marry Me. Growing more confident with each tour and every acclaimed St. Vincent album, Clark's skills on the axe make her one of the most spellbinding frontwomen in indie rock.
