Marry Me is the debut studio album by American musician St. Vincent. It was released on July 10, 2007, in the United States[15] and on September 3, 2007 in the United Kingdom, through Beggars Banquet Records. The album is named after a running gag from the television show Arrested Development.[16] As of 2009, the album has sold an estimated 30,000 copies.[17]

Background[]

St. Vincent started working on Marry Me before she joined The Polyphonic Spree, and finished it while touring with them. Sufjan Stevens heard it and asked St. Vincent to be in his band and open for him; after a show in London opening for Stevens, Beggars Banquet Records offered St. Vincent a record contract and published the record.[18]
