St. Vincent is well known for her various eras, from the latex-dominatrix era of MASSEDUCTION to the 70s’ funk throwback era of Daddy’s Home. All Born Screaming has her embracing a harder, grungier sound; and in this era St. Vincent is embodying an artist on the edge of a breakdown, dissolving into maddness on stage.

Between the heavy rockers, St Vincent adressed the crowd in sweeping statements breating the general “fucked” nature of society today. She closed each interlude with a message of thanks and hope, that getting together on evenings like this is, if not a solution, at least a salve. “I have hope, that’s not a thing that comes easily. I have hope. We get to travel the world and be together…. which is at its core, even if it’s angry, it’s joyful. So thank you. That’s all.”
