"Fearsome shredder" St. Vincent (aka Annie Clark) is unveiling the album art and tracklisting for her highly anticipated new LP 'Strange Mercy' (9/13, 4AD) today. The record's eerie cover was designed by Clark herself and photographed by Tina Tyrell. See below for full tracklisting, and access high-res cover art and other Tina Tyrell images of Clark here:

Gerald Cantor Roof Garden at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art on August 25. More details on the event which is being presented by The Met's new initiative Spectrum will be announced soon.
