St. Vincent continues her strides as a solo artist after separating from The Polyphonic Spree and Sufjan Stevens' touring band with news that her third album is on its way into our ears and hearts this fall. Featuring tracks with names such as "Surgeon," "Cruel" and "Cheerleader," Strange Mercy is described as a veritable work of art in the press release announcing its arrival:
Strange Mercy finds St. Vincent redefining the idea of the guitar hero, utilising the instrument as a pointillist artist might wield a brush. Countless judiciously placed riffs and instrumental flares, each distinct and unique, cohere into grand tableaus.
Sounds positively lovely. Keep your eyes and ears open for more details as we wait for the album to drop on September 13.
