Annie Clark's 2014 album St. Vincent has been awarded the 2015 Grammy for Best Alternative Music album, beating out Arcade Fire, Jack White, Alt-J, and Cage the Elephant. We got in touch with Clark for a brief chat about the honor.

Pitchfork: First of all—Congrats! How do you feel?

Annie Clark: Great. I found out at 7 in the morning in Perth, Australia. (laughs) What happened was my family was watching the live stream, and I had my phone on. They were doing a countdown—"Annie's number 58 of 78!"—so I went back to sleep and then I woke up again to a text from my mom that said "Annie won!"

Pitchfork: What are you doing to celebrate?

AC: I just took a shower. (laughs) I'm having a coffee with cocoa. We're going to Bali today.

Pitchfork: Do you know where the award is going to go in your home?

AC: I think it's going to go at my mom's house. I think it's going to go… Yeah, it'll probably go on her piano next to the childhood photos of everyone.

Pitchfork: You're the first solo female artist to win the Best Alternative Album category since Sinead O'Connor in 1991, which is also the year they introduced the award.

AC: I didn't know that!

Pitchfork: Would you like to take the opportunity to trash talk your competitors?

AC: Oh God, no! That's so horrible and crass, I'd never do that. (laughs)

Pitchfork: What's up next?

AC: I have the color guard collaboration with David Byrne. I'm writing. I've got a couple of other collaborations in the works. I'm just working a lot! A lot of things, some of which I can't remember if I'm allowed to talk about or not. (laughs)
