St Vincent a récemment confessé que son dernier album « Daddy’s Home » ne devait pas avoir cette vibe rétro. Initialement, l’artiste comptait enregistrer un album plus heavy que « Masseducation », dans la veine d’un Tool.
“The crazy thing about music is, you can plan and plan and think you’re gonna go one way, and then you start writing and the music just takes you wherever the music takes you. That was certainly the experience with this. I was dead set in my mind that after ‘Masseducation‘, I was just gonna make this like, heavy record. Like just heavy the whole time — like, ‘Hey kids, you like Tool? Well, you’ll love the St. Vincent record,’ you know?”
Finalement, ce n’est pas là que l’inspiration l’aura menée :
“I got sort of down the road with that, but I kept finding I didn’t have anything to say there. It didn’t feel like anything to go more angular and harder after ‘Masseducation‘. But where it did feel free and fun and fresh and a lot of other ‘f’ words was just to be like, ‘Let me go back to the music I’ve listened to more than anything else: stuff made in New York in the ’70s from ’71-76.’ Post-flower child, pre-disco, pre-punk, and just sit in that space for a little bit.”
À celles et ceux qui se demandent si cet album pourrait quand même se produire :
“For fans who may be selfishly hoping to hear something like that Tool record… we’ll get there, don’t worry.”
Rappelons que l’artiste n’a jamais caché son intérêt pour le groupe de Maynard (comme en atteste sa reprise acoustique en dessous) et qu’elle n’a pas hésité à appeler certaines personnes portant des T-shirts de Metallica des poseurs.
