The song is the second advanced track from All Born Screaming
St. Vincent releases “Flea,” the second advance offering from the three-time Grammy winner’s rapidly approaching seventh full-length studio album, All Born Screaming, out April 26th via Total Pleasure Records in partnership with Virgin Music Group.
Featuring St. Vincent on vocals and all instruments except drums and bass—handled respectively by Dave Grohl and Justin Meldal-Johnsen—“Flea” is raw desire made manifest atop a foundation of thundering grooves and searing guitar figures. Accompanied by a lyric video featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the All Born Screaming sessions, “Flea” unveils another dimension of the album’s emotionally apocalyptic side, following in the wake of its predecessor “Broken Man”—currently in its second week at No. 1 Most Added at Alternative Radio.
St. Vincent’s first self-produced record, All Born Screaming is an invitation to test the limits of what is possible–and to then keep going. Brought to life with the aid of a highly curated roster of friends — Rachel Eckroth, Josh Freese, Dave Grohl, Mark Guiliana, Cate Le Bon, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Stella Mogzawa and David Ralicke — the album is an unadulterated expression of St. Vincent’s singular vision.
In other news, St. Vincent has announced an extensive slate of live dates. Following in the wake of headlining shows in San Francisco and Napa, and festival appearances including Bottlerock and The Thing!
All Born Screaming was produced by St. Vincent and mixed by Cian Riordan.
