St. Vincent has described Dave Grohl as the "nicest guy in rock".
In an interview with People published on Friday, the musician revealed how the Foo Fighters frontman came to be featured on her new album All Born Screaming, which was released on Friday.
"Dave I've known since I helped induct Nirvana into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014," St. Vincent told the publication. "He's just everything they say he is and more. He's the coolest guy in rock, the nicest guy in rock."
Dave, the former Nirvana drummer, appeared as a guest artist on St. Vincent's song Flea, which appears on her new album.
"I sent him the song Flea and I was like, 'You're the only drummer in the world I can hear on this,'" she explained. "And so he rolls over to my studio smoking Parliaments and drinking coffee. We're trading war stories and having a laugh. Then he goes, "Alright, I'm ready." He goes in and he plays the song perfectly."
The new 10-track album marks the first time in her career that St. Vincent has produced an album entirely herself.
"This record is 100% lived experience, so I've felt every lyric on it," she shared. "(Music is) just the way I process everything in my life, and always has been."
All Born Screaming is the singer's seventh studio album, following her 2021 album Daddy's Home, which won a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album.
