Annie Clark goes even deeper into St. Vincent's fascinating contradictions on her third album, Strange Mercy, which was recorded in her hometown of Dallas, Texas. Soft meets sharp and harsh rubs up against tender on songs like "Surgeon" and "Cruel," where Clark's deceptively sweet vocals sound equally at home with gentle strings or harsh guitar outbursts. |
