Like peaches and cream, or a coach and a team, St. Vincent and Wildbirds & Peacedrums are hoping to be a perfect match when they pair up for one heavy February of shows together.The New Yorker vixen and the Swedish husband/wife duo have both been standout alternative music figures this year: St. Vincent earning copious admirers for her second LP, Actor, whilst Wildbirds & Peacedrums' sophomore set, The Snake, has been undoubtably one of the best albums of the year.
Now, the two will join forces on a North American tour early in 2010; where they'll get to swap stories of jazz childhoods and, assumedly, slay audiences in tandem night after night. To get a taste of how good the openers can be, for one, witness W&P live on Swedish TV. Killer!
