St. Vincent Instagram – this thing — making records — is just dreaming. dreaming and finding and believing and doubting and refining and not knowing but having this impossible belief that there is something out there just past your fingertips. so I wanna say thank you to the people who dreamed with me. cian riordan. my friend and engineer and partner in crime. so many hours spent with you. dreaming. toiling. talking shit. you helped me build a real studio, gave me engineering lessons, answered my constant calls despite your better judgement. saw this one through from start to finish. you’re a brilliant artist and engineer and you make a lethal martini. to many more. slainte. cate le bon. my fucking brilliant friend. you make my favorite modern music — period. thank you for coming in and saving me from rap rock, singing those beautiful bass notes on “all born screaming,” (I swear they’re in there — just panned hard left and muted), and bringing your perfect patience, exquisite taste, welsh wit, and love of 1978 fretless p basses. “give me a beer, a bass, and two hours.” — cate le bon justin meldal Johnsen — for the bass and bass VI and synth rippage, of course. but also for the days at chez jmj playing with all your crazy gear head toys. letting me pick your brain about all things — “how did they make the sound from ____” and you having a LEGIT answer. the philosophical talks. the encouragement. it’s a real humbling thing when a ripper like you believes in a girl like me. dave, mark, rachel, josh, stella, david. I love you all. and the biggest thanks always to my love. for everything. for our whole world. couldn’t have done nothing without you. my north, south, east and west. this dream is yours now. love, ac #AllBornScreaming
