Clark is a singer/songwriter multi-instrumentalist from Texas who was a member of choral symphonic pop outfit Polyphonic Spree until she went solo last year with her delightful "Marry Me" album...
Clark is something of a sui generis.... Her songs are personal, bare, almost acoustic with subtly incisive lyrics...

'While Jesus is saving / I'm spending all my days,
in backgrounds and landscapes, with the languages of saints'
- from 'Jesus Saves, I Spend'
'Sticks and stones have made me smarter,
it's words that cut me under my armor they say'
- from 'Paris is Burning'
Here's the wonderful clip of 'Jesus Saves, I Spend:'
and here's Annie singing 'Marry Me' live at the September 2007 Swerve Festival in Hollywood:
