Episode 276: Carrie Brownstein & St Vincent On The Music Of The Nowhere Inn

Soundtracking with Edith Bowman

Our latest guests on Soundtracking are two friends who've come together to create something quite unlike anything I've ever seen.

The Nowhere Inn sees Carrie Brownstein and Annie Clark - aka St Vincent - play themselves in what appears to be a documentary about St Vincent's life as a musician. However, the film is entirely scripted, and in fact transforms into what one critic describes as a Lynchian nightmare smeared in lipstick.

Annie also scored the movie, and we have to say it's an absolutely wonderful compilation of tunes - which more than stands alone as an album.
