This is literally the best studio track I've heard in years and hearing this, it being as close as it is to the studio version, I'm all in. I love this song. I never heard this band before the past year. Let's fuckin go. The lead guitarist/singer needs some serious recognition for her style here as well. She's like Tom Petty and Joan Jett had a kid that could play guitar and sing better than both of them.

[@joelklimkowski715]

She is literally one of the reasons that Beck left the church of Scientology. Definitely one of the greatest composers and guitarist of our generation.

Yes this is great. Try out Fontains D.C. "Roman Holiday" at WXPN.

[@mbpelicans]

Sharon Van Etten y’all

This is what it feels like Walking in a straight line Stray talk clicking in my ear This is what it feels like Cliff dive broken mind Wondering how I got here A million times tongue tied Spit it out Never mind I think I'm addicted to the fear Stutter in my heart From the hurry up Stop dragging my heels around Dragging my heels around But that was then and this is now I tried so hard not to let you all down It's an impossible weight So I'll just let you down now Steady as the wheel turns On my way it's OK Picking up the pieces Put 'em down Stutter in my heart From the hurry up Stop dragging my heels around Dragging my heels around Dragging my heels around But that was then and this is now I tried so hard not to let you all down But that was then and this is now I tried so hard not to let you all down It's an impossible weight So I'll just let you down now It's an impossible weight It's an impossible weight But that was then and this is now I tried so hard not to let you all down It's an impossible weight So I'll just let you down now

[@TMLimpert]

Kirk, thanks for posting the poetry. "It's an impossible weight so I'll let you down now...(ouch!)

[@Bloqueadorsolarmusic]

I’m obsessed with this song !! You all rock !

[@CatmanBill]

I’m all in. Songwriting and performing at its best. Y’all will be creating so much more but this one will follow you into old age no doubt.

[@Steven-wm9vu]

She can change her inflection so crisply and quickly. Sheccan cut it in and crisply too. The drummer is good. They're a very polished and tight band.

[@fairviewfar2262]

Brilliant singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Jessica and her band are killing it. She can do way more guitar-wise but it seems like she's being tasteful and serving the song, even with the use of effects. Just a real pro. Anyone else notice her switching pickups mid-riff while singing at 01:52? That was pretty cool.

[@theEvibo]

KEXP always give us the best band in the world. Tqvm

[@mechouilli]

LOVE THIS!

[@spandrel1858]

Every time I see something about St. Vincent I kind of go "what about Jessica Dobson??"

[@davidburch4165]

Wow -- buying the CD now . . .

[@markpranke1438]

Yesssss!!!!

[@Krustenkaese92]

This is like a slightly more poppy Sleater Kinney song. Love it.

[@rickclark7839]

Ahhh so good

[@mechouilli]

I feel like PJ Harvey has a new succession

[@adderon7476]

[@swampface]

wowowow

[@RegularDude00]

2:20 awesome riff

[@dsincox]

My complaint about this song is that it isn't longer!

[@alexbalam6120]

🤗🎧💗

[@kp4185]

Why is this so good??? @pearljam you know!

[@thedividedslavesofamericao5757]

baaaaaaaaad!!!!!!! Sick Sick Sick!

[@mussberger]

Should’ve just skipped the studio. Bloody fantastic!

[@tuskedbeast]

Where's the saw player?

[@thirstypilgrim97]

Frou Frou goes punk.

[@windblown88]

Stop bouncing the camera around and back it up so we can see 2, 3, or all of them together in one shot! Is this your idea of edgy camera work?

[@tonchi74]

Sleater-Kinney did this in the 90's........................NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
