ST VINCENT "strange mercy" cd, 2011
career stats:
studio albums......5
singles...............11
this album.............#19 US...#63 CAN...#117 UK
singles:
"surgeon"..............no chart action
"cruel"..................no chart action
"cheerleader"........no chart action
picked this one up out of a discount bin or a couple of bucks a while ago...
one of those 'don't know who they are-surprise' purchases....
I hear bits of Portishead here and there, the difference, Portishead are totally electronic,
this is full of real instruments including a few we rarely here in modern pop like Clavinet,
Clarinet, Flute and Saxaphone along with the mini Moog organ...
some of this is a bit arty but it works, some is atmospheric which emits emotion to compliment
the singing/theme of the lyrics, other stuff is almost commercially radio friendly...
strange that two of the three singles released of here are the two tracks I dislike, whilst the other
is one of the tracks I love.
not a bad album.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
worst track: surgeon
best track: year of the tiger
