if she wrote the album while watching scenes from favorite movies and composing music for certain scenes/characters/lines, I would say that the music is inextricably tied to the movies, which is why I want to know where they came from. most artists I know actually make it a point to not listen to any music while recording so as to not accidentally work something in subconsciouly. I think the fact that St. Vincent specifically tried this experiment is very brave and I really like the result.
