Brooklyn-based Annie Clark's popularity has grown considerably in the past few years - from a costumed member of Polyphonic Spree and winged member of Sufjan Stevens' band to an exceptional artist in her own right as St.
Vincent.
Clark's debut album, Marry Me (2007) was released to critical acclaim, and was followed by Actor (2009).
Strange Mercy builds upon the groundwork laid on her previous records - intricate compositions and ornate pop songs are fleshed out with full and dark arrangements, her vocals are sweetly seductive and enchanting, the lyrical phrases unsettling and she manipulates and contorts and totally shreds on the guitar, creating a full arsenal of textures that provide the backbone of St. Vincent's third and best album so far.
Produced by Grammy nominated John Congleton, (Modest Mouse, The Octopus Project and Erykah Badu)
