St. Vincent Unveils Strange Mercy For September

"Fearsome shredder" St. Vincent (aka Annie Clark) is set to release her highly anticipated new LP Strange Mercy on September 13, 2011 via 4AD Records. The album’s eerie cover was designed by Clark herself and photographed by Tina Tyrell. Yesterday, The Huffington Post debuted the music video for Strange Mercy track "Cruel." Watch below:

In October, St. Vincent will kick off an extensive fall tour (dates below) in support of Strange Mercy but some lucky New Yorkers got an early preview of the material last night when St. Vincent performed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in an event hosted by SPIN Magazine, celebrating their St. Vincent cover feature.

Clark released lead single "Surgeon" in late July, urging fans to tweet the hashtag #strangemercy to unlock the track. In addition, four specially made film vignettes created by Alan Ortiz served as virtual milestones in the build-up to the final reveal. "Surgeon" is now available as a free download on www.strangemercy.com, or streaming below. Beginning with languorous vocals, "Surgeon" spirals into a frenzy of frantic guitars as Clark repeatedly pleads, "Best finest surgeon, come cut me open."
