Music Video Of The Day: St. Vincent 'Cruel'

By Lisa White in Arts & Entertainment on Jul 16, 2014 10:00PM

Since Pitchfork Festival is coming up, our office playlist is full of some of our favorite acts we're looking forward to catching in Union Park. We shared our top picks for Saturday earlier today, which included some love for the always charming yet haunting voice of Annie Clark, better known as St. Vincent.

We've caught St. Vincent multiple times live, from her more demure debut album to watching her grow into a multifaceted artist, her music playing on so many emotions and themes. One moment everything seems cheerful but there is always a dark undertone hiding beneath the surface. We already praised her most recent release so we're visiting one of our favorite videos from her catalog today.

Since you apparently can't watch music videos on television anymore, we'll showcase one here daily. There's no rhyme or reason, time or season, to which video we'll choose. Have a suggestion? Contact us at tips@chicagoist.com.
