The February 25 release of St. Vincent's self-titled fourth solo album is a little more than two weeks away. Yesterday, St. Vincent debuted a few tracks of the upcoming effort to kick off New York City's fashion week with American Express, who hosted her in their UNSTAGED live webcast series.
St. Vincent provided the soundtrack for the presentation of designer Diane von Furstenberg's Fall 2014 collection. She also took the stage at the AmEx Card Member Space to preview even more songs, following the fashion show.
Now you can hear new tracks "Every Tear Disappears" (106:33), "Rattlesnake" (1:35:07), and "Regret" (1:43:53) in the video below. She also performed previously released songs, "Prince Johnny" (110:24). "Digital Witness" (114:39), and "Birth In Reverse" (147:41) (via Stereogum). That's more than half of the record!
The upcoming album is the follow up to 2011's Strange Mercy. The 11-song effort hits stores February 25 via her new label Loma Vista/Republic Records. Annie Clark recorded the new album in Dallas with Dap-Kings drummer Homer Steinweiss and Midlake percussionist McKenzie Smith. John Congleton (Modest Mouse, the Mountain Goats), who has previously helmed St. Vincent's Actor and Strange Mercy, produced the album. "I knew the groove needed to be paramount," she said in the statement. "I wanted to make a party record you could play a funeral."
St. Vincent will embark on an extensive 2014 North American tour this week in support of the upcoming effort. Check out her new tracks here, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!
