St. Vincent’s third album, Strange Mercy, may be her best and may be one of the best of the year. Brandon goes about falling in love Annie Clark all over again. Greg searches for a craving that never comes. The full dialectic after the jump.
Greg catches up on St. Vincent’s discography, comparing everything to everything and digging into some compositional hooha and actually calling out one of the songs on the album as cold and monotonous. But only one song. He’s on the Annie Clark boat, fyi. But did he answer Brandon’s question? No. Of course not.
