Watch St. Vincent Perform New Song, “Cruel” at David Lynch Festival

Watch St. Vincent Perform New Song, “Cruel” at David Lynch Festival

Last night, at the Ace Hotel in Los Angeles, David Lynch hosted the first part of his Festival of Disruption. There was a screening The Elephant Man, talks from Mel Brooks and John Malkovich, an exhibition of Lynch’s photography, and musical performances, including a set from St. Vincent. During the course of her performance, she played a stripped down version of “Cruel,” “I Prefer Your Love” alongside a trio of dancers, and an acoustic version of a new song she debuted earlier this year, while dressed as a toilet. Below you can find clips from the show.

I love David Lynch and I love my team and I loved playing last night.
