No offense but it sounds like they were giving back what they were getting. I'd be pretty bummed if I paid to see an artist of St. Vincent's caliber and she was basically doing karaoke to her own music.
Yup. If that's what I get in November I'll be disappointed.
Yeah, I definitely preferred the self-titled tour gig a coupla years back. I wonder why she went this route.

I mean... so much of the new record is synths and loops. If she's not doing new live band arrangements of those songs, I have no problem with stuff being piped in. As long as she's engaged with the music, her and a guitar and some images sounds pretty awesome.

Yeah, hopefully the guitar sound/backing track mismatch gets sorted going forward.

This is the only St. Vincent record I've given any real time to and I really like it too.

but Seattle is at the beginning stages of The Big Dark and I need some really droney, ambient stuff right now
That's a lot of grey days. If you've never dug into the Tortoise discography, now is a fine time to start. Ditto Steve Reich.
I have one Tortoise album that I bought on a lark way back in the day. I should revisit that. I remember liking it well enough but being bummed that it was instrumental. That used to bug me way back when. But I'm way more into non-vocal stuff more now. I should give it a listen.
