"You're a supplement, you're a salve
You're a bandage, pull it off
I think I love you, I think I'm mad"

Jinxed says: Powerful, this way starts Actor the second album by St.Vincent or may I say by Annie Clark ?
Actor comes in a divinization mission for Annie, what ins´t difficult before the excellent performance of Marry Me (album debut). More heavy full of riffs, glitchs, a foxy organ and mist passages. Rough passages some times, but in the exact timing, like in the brillant "Strangers" moulding a sequency of powerful songs like "Actor Out of Work", "Black Rainbow" and "Marrow". "Save Me From What I Want", "The Neighbors" and "Laughing With A Mouth Of Blood" open the room of beautiful melodies, following the explosives arrengements from the others. The oriental "The Bed" and the serene "The Party" come delivering the end of the album with no power at this height. What comes into the main weakness of one of the best albuns of 2009.
"What do I share?
What do I keep from all the strangers who sleep where I sleep"

Jinxed diz: Poderoso, assim se inicia Actor o segundo album por St.Vincent ou deveria dizer por Annie Clark ?
Actor chega e com a função de endeusar Annie, o que não foi dificil depois de sua excelente performance em Marry Me (album debut). Mais pesado cheio de riffs, glitchs, um orgão manhoso e serenas passagens. Passagens por algumas vezes bruscas, mas com timing exato, como na brilhante "Strangers" formando uma sequência de canções poderosas como "Actor Out of Work", "Black Rainbow" e "Marrow".
"Save Me From What I Want", "The Neighbors" e "Laughing With A Mouth Of Blood" abrem a ala das belas melodias, seguindo os arranjos explosivos das demais. A oriental "The Bed" e serena "The Party" chegam entregando o fim do album que perde por completamente sua força a esta altura. O que vem ser o principal ponto fraco daquele que já é um dos melhores albuns de 2009.

And all of my old haunts are now all haunting me"
