St. Vincent Debuts 'Surgeon' After 'Strange Mercy' Twitter Campaign

Tina Tyrell

St. Vincent has made a new song, 'Surgeon,' available as a free download, but she certainly made her fans work for it.

Starting earlier this week, the singer-songwriter, aka Annie Clark, posted a message telling followers to tweet the hashtag #strangemercy to get a song from the upcoming album of the same name (it's actually spelled out 'Strange Mercy').

As the days went by and her fans complied, unlocking some odd teaser videos along the way, 'Surgeon' was finally made available early on Friday.

Check out the dreamy, synth-heavy track below. 'Strange Mercy' is due out Sept. 13 from 4AD.

Since day A of independence, OUR COUNTRY UNITED STATES HAVE GONE FROM WORSE TO THE WORST !!! IT IS OBVIOUS THAT PEOPLE ELECTED ARE REPRESENTING OWN INTERESTS ONLY ($$$ & Israel) AND COUNTRY IS IN A TOTAL MESS !!!


HOW MUCH FURTHER ARE WE WILLING TO GO IN ORDER TO PLEASE THESE VERY SAME PEOPLE WHO DENY US EVEN THE RIGHT TO EXISTENCE(what is to you country without laws or lawless country in respect to your personal rights, but the one that in contrast to your denied basic human rights recognizes you extremely liable when payments are due) !!?

IS IT INDEPENDENCE THAT WE CELEBRATE OR DEPENDENCE (what are your credit card bills or alimony saying about it) !!? HOW IS YOUR DIABETES AND LOST MARRIAGES !!? FORECLOSURES AND JOB SEARCH !!? THAT IS THE QUESTION TO BE OR NOT TO BE !!!!!! IS IT LAND OF THE FREE OR STATE OF TERROR AGAINST OWN POPULATION !!? IT IS TIME TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT COLOR ARE THE STRIPES ON OUR STAR SPANGLED BANNER !!!
