St. Vincent: Strange Mercy
Jan 27th, 2012 by gcunniff
“While strings and horns occasionally creep in, Strange Mercy consistently makes do with little more than a conventional rock-band setup. All the better to display the record’s rougher edges and willingness to let its mistakes show—like a stray sigh near the end of “Surgeon.” That’s the sound of the beast making its way out of the beauty.” –A.V.
