Wireless Festival 2009 Sponsored By Barclaycard

Annie Clark, who does business as St. Vincent, wrote much of her new album, Actor, by drawing, not playing. Mainly a guitarist, Clark began the album in a French hotel room in December of 2007, using GarageBand software and a pair of headphones, drawing notes one by one, until they sounded how they should sound.

Expect brief echoes of Robert Fripp's guitar mandalas and XTC's sense of ornate and generous melody. With her gargantuan musical chops and her magnetic stage presence, Annie will definitely be worth checking out on the Bella Union stage at Wireless 2009 sponsored by Barclaycard.
