Mini bio
How it started.
Annie Clark grew up in Dallas and began playing guitar at 12. She studied at Berklee College of Music, then left in her third year. Touring with the Polyphonic Spree led to a place in Sufjan Stevens’ band, and a UK show in 2006 helped her land a record deal. Her solo debut, Marry Me, followed in 2007.
Finding her own sound.
Strange Mercy took her into the US album chart’s Top 20 in 2011. She made Love This Giant with David Byrne in 2012, then won her first Grammy with her self-titled album. MASSEDUCTION and Daddy’s Home brought further changes in sound and presentation.
Making the whole record.
On All Born Screaming, Clark took the producer’s chair herself and also shared engineering duties. She later rerecorded its vocals in Spanish for Todos Nacen Gritando, inspired by fans who sang her English lyrics back to her at shows. In 2026, Live in London! and a run of orchestral concerts gave older and newer songs fresh arrangements.
