St. Vincent has spoken about the experience of producing her upcoming album ‘All Born Screaming’, saying that it made her feel like “a God”. The artist was appearing on Matt Wilkinson’s show on the Apple Music 1 radio station, ahead of the album’s release next month.

Maybe there were psychedelics involved.
It doesn’t matter, who’s asking?” “But then going, ‘Okay, I jammed for that many hours. What’s the four seconds that’s so exciting to me that I want to hear it over and over again and build a whole song around it?’ So that was one part of the process, and so it’s a bit tedious. It’s a little bit ass backwards, but that’s what I needed.” Speaking to NME about the mood of the album, Clark described it as the “sound of the inside of my head”, adding:
