Is there another album that's been as consistently rewarding to listen to this year as St. Vincent's stunning Strange Mercy? Possibly Glen Campbell's latest or CYHSY, but there's something about this track, "Cruel," that takes me over the top. On the record it's the lovely fuzzed out 80s sound that punctuates and pierces Annie's silky vocals. In this live recording (thanks GvB), there's a melodica -- that goofy thing that you played in elementary school music classrooms -- that makes the tune.
