Chloe In The Afternoon might be the hottest lesbian song

In September 2011, St Vincent took a giant leap forward with the release of third album, Strange Mercy. This time out Annie Clark was to combine her long-celebrated musical virtuosity with ambitious songwriting that ran a gamut of emotional cadences, all the while underpinned by a colourful sense of melody.

Dirty policemen

— @gsikora31

Recording these songs live for the first time, St Vincent performed four tracks from Strange Mercy for the tenth visual installment in the 4AD Session series. Shot at Shangri-La Studios in the heart of the Brooklyn film and photography district in Greenpoint, the session was recorded with Annie's new band, Daniel Mintseris (keys), Toko Yasuda (moog) and Matthew Johnson (drums). Given St Vincent's transgression from the underground to the pop spotlight over the course of three studio albums, it's somewhat fitting that Shangri-La host the session having initially earned its name as a secret spot known only through word of mouth.

It's amazing how she can be so incredibly attractive and fascinating, and yet her music can be disturbing and repulsive at the same time. I discovered her with "Prince Johnny," which I adore, and now I don't know what to think anymore...❤

@DREAMREC0RDER

Wow. She plays that guitar 🎸 like its a part of her body. She sings even better.

I remember watching this when it came out, still fresh to this day

@JoshExiled

Her guitar tone literally sounds like flatulence. I'm totally open to new sounds, but this is just crap.

@chrispraz877

That guitar tone on surgeon is insane sounding

Este período de Anie es sencillamente genial. Simple, compleja, virtuosa y experimental con la guitarra, además de ser una gran cantante. No sé que cambió luego, pero luego me gustó menos que antes, lo que me parece que no debiera estar bien, ¿o seré yo? ¿Será que ahora es rubia y tiene una St. Vincent signature? Ésto último es una broma, pero lo cierto que en ese momento su música me llegaba al corazón.

Is it just me or does the guitar part on strange mercy sounds like it came from a final fantasy game?

Loved St. Vincent from the first album in, but this must definitely be her weakest work yet, disappointed!
