St. Vincent announces tour, Strange new album
It’s been two years since Annie Clark, a.k.a. St. Vincent, bestowed her lovely Actor upon the world. Actor is a strong album, stuffed with Clark’s off-kilter chamber pop, and a step up from her 2007 debut, Marry Me. Now, the guitar-slinging ingénue has announced details of her anticipated third disc, as well as a string of North American tour dates.
The new album, Strange Mercy, is slated for a Sept. 13 release in the U.S. and is produced by former Paper Chase frontman—and past St. Vincent producer—John Congleton. The singular album art was conceived by Clark herself, and clearly pays tribute to that scene in the original A Nightmare On Elm Street when Freddy comes through the wall above Nancy’s bed. (Right?)
