Its sound was apparently inspired by his record collection, which evidently majored in the early 70s. Only the title track concerns her father’s imprisonment and release, although his presence lurks over the album in more subtle ways. We live in an age of prurient interest in – and boundless opinion-giving about – celebrities’ personal lives: announcing that the title of Daddy’s Home referred to her father’s release from prison after a 10-year stretch for stock manipulation was bound to have an overshadowing effect. T he backstory of Annie Clark’s sixth album as St Vincent already feels well-worn.
