She began her music career as a member of the Polyphonic Spree and was also part of Sufjan Stevens's touring band before forming her own band in 2006. St. Vincent's work has received consistent praise for its distinct musical style, which blends soft rock, experimental rock, electropop, and jazz influences. Her debut album was ''Marry Me'' (2007), followed by ''Actor'' (2009) and ''Strange Mercy'' (2011). She released a collaborative album with David Byrne in 2012 titled ''Love This Giant''. Clark also contributed backing vocals for Swans on their 2014 album, ''To Be Kind''. Her fourth solo album, self-titled ''St. Vincent'', was released on February 25, 2014 and was named album of the year by ''The Guardian'', ''Entertainment Weekly'', ''NME'', and ''Slant Magazine'', as well as second best album of the year by ''Time'' magazine. The album won her a Grammy for Best Alternative Album, her first Grammy award. She was the first woman in 20 years to win a Grammy in that category. St. Vincent has opened shows for such acts as The Black Keys, Arcade Fire, Andrew Bird, The National, Jolie Holland, John Vanderslice, Xiu Xiu, Death Cab for Cutie, Cristina Donà, and Grizzly Bear. Additionally, her track "The Strangers" was sampled by Kid Cudi on the song "MANIAC" for his 2010 album ''Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager''. In 2015, she performed with Wire in Chicago, as part of the band's Drill Festival. Clark has been heralded as "one of the past decade's most distinct and innovative guitarists."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=St Vincent Review )〕 ==Early life== Annie Clark was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC profile )〕 She began playing the guitar at the age of 12 and, as a teenager, worked as a roadie for her uncle and aunt, Tuck Andress and Patti Cathcart, of the guitar-vocal jazz duo Tuck & Patti. She grew up in Dallas, Texas, and attended Lake Highlands High School, where she participated in theater and the school's jazz band, and was a classmate of Mark Salling (who later went on to star in the series ''Glee''). Clark graduated from Lake Highlands in 2001.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dallas Observer feature, July 5, 2007 )〕 Clark attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts for three years before dropping out. In retrospect, Clark said, "I think that with music school and art school, or school in any form, there has to be some system of grading and measurement. The things they can teach you are quantifiable. While all that is good and has its place, at some point you have to learn all you can and then forget everything that you learned in order to actually start making music."〔 In 2003, during her time at Berklee, she released an EP with fellow students entitled ''Ratsliveonnoevilstar''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Early St. Vincent EP at Who Killed the Mixtape? )〕 While in Berklee, she worked with Heavy Rotation Records where "she revealed a much more private and intimate rendering of 'Count' for ''Dorm Sessions Vol. 1''." Shortly after leaving Berklee, Clark returned home to Texas where she joined The Polyphonic Spree just before their embarking on a European tour.〔 In 2004, she joined Glenn Branca's 100 guitar orchestra for the Queens performance.〔(Interview: Annie Clark (of St. Vincent) – News – Evri ).
