Caught St. Vincent on Jools last night and was really impressed with her tasteful playing, especially on Prince Johnny. Reminded me a bit of a lady Prince.
Couldn't find a clip online yet but here is her live in Paris -

Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself

You probably are...making assumptions maybe? If you read the comments above other's opinion describe her playing as 'tasteful', and that she has 'good phrasing and timing'. Perhaps it is you that is looking at her gender and assuming that in anyone giving her any recognition that automatically means we are purporting her to be the second coming of the guitar world. She is undoubtedly a fairly decent guitarist who is making an impact enough to receive recognition for her playing, which as it goes seems to be far rarer in the female kind. If you really are 'all in favour of more girls/women playing guitar', then you'd probably realise that Annie Clark is far more likely to inspire young girls to pick up a guitar than yet another all male rock band.
To be honest unless you set out to knock her from the start it seems strange that you could see her playing as more clichéd than 90% of the never ending stream of blues guys and shredders that endlessly occupy the covers of the sycophantic guitar press.Nothing wrong with it but like @sweepy having watched that first clip I'm not quite sure what the fuss is about. Next please !
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
