"Los Ageless" is a song by the American musician St. Vincent. It was released on September 6, 2017, through Loma Vista as the second single from her fifth studio album, Masseduction . [1]
"Los Ageless" is a dance-rock, [2] new wave, [3] and electropop [4] song driven by, "the flat thwack of electronic drums and a squirting synth-bass sound" while Clark "slathers distorted guitar lines on top of this foundation." [2] Stereogum 's Tom Breihan described the song is nothing like Clark has ever done before, further stating, "the title might make the song seem like a companion piece, but it's actually a pulsing, synthetic, slightly funky piece of new wave." [3] Andrew Trendell of NME stated that, "'Los Ageless' [is] fuelled by a rush of industrial electro beats and fuzzy guitar," while seeing Clark "further blurring the boundaries of genre as the stomp of the track builds towards an almighty and feral climax."

An accompanying music video for "Los Ageless" was released on October 3, 2017. The video was directed by Willo Perron. [7] In the video, Clark "parodies the lives of Los Angeles socialites (yoga classes, plastic surgery, etc.) in a gruesome, pastel fashion." [7]
