Here’s the thing about being a girlie girl. I think there was a generation before us that felt like they needed to act like men to be taken seriously, like they had to use their sexuality to take control of people. I don’t judge people for that. But I don’t want to take all my clothes off and use myself as an object. It’s part of the machine and I don’t think that necessarily pushes us forward as women. I think you can still be girlie and maintain your power. The fact that you associate being girlie with being non-threatening, that is I mean, I can’t think of more blatant example of playing into exactly the thing that we’re trying to fight against. I can’t be girlie? Why do I need to be defined aesthetically by someone else’s perceptions of what makes me seem like someone who should be taken seriously? I’m going to wear whatever I want to wear, because I’m expressing myself, and I deserve that right. And I like the way that looks. You’re not demeaning yourself by acting girlie. I think the fact that people are associating being girlie with weakness, that needs to be examined. Not me dressing girlie. I don’t think that undermines my power at all.

Fortunately for those not in the Los Angeles area, the full in-studio set was filmed as well, including the above preview of St. Vincent’s latest single, “Cruel.” The whole show won’t the hit the web until next month, but this stunning performance will certainly suffice in the meantime.

Video: Beach House Play New Song at ATP London
It was first labeled an “experiment” by Baltimore’s Beach House when they debuted this tune at the Animal Collective-curated ATP Fest back in May, but now the dream-pop duo’s latest has been fleshed out a bit with more guitar layers, holding its own among released material at recent live sets. Above is some nice front-row footage of what just might be a second promising preview of Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally’s follow-up to last year’s Teen Dream, performed at the Portishead-curated All Tomorrow’s Parties event in London a week and a half ago.
