Album Review: St Vincent - Strange Mercy

For a remarkably seamless album, Strange Mercy sounds like it has been constructed on the fly. Guitars squeal from behind the corner, crescendos or disco beats jostle with each, or songs shift without warning.

It’s also so unpredictable, that it’s an album that could probably be heard over and over again.
