St. Vincent - Strange Mercy

St. Vincent (Annie Clark) delivers a masterpiece full of paradoxes for her third outing 'Strange Mercy'. The 2011 record features the singles "Surgeon", "Cruel" and "Cheerleader". On Strange Mercy, she ditches Marry Me's naivety and Actor's ostentatious arrangements, boosts the inventive guitar playing, and ends up with her most potent and cathartic release yet. The eleven new tracks showcase Clark’s gift for fusing the cerebral and the visceral, her melodically elegant arrangements packing hefty emotional punches.
