Joanna Newsom - Ys

<< < (3/4) > >>

Well, I've heard it now. It's an absolutely gorgeous record, but the track lengths - five tracks, the bulk of them running over nine minutes and "Only Skin" almost breaking the 17 minute barrier? It's a dense listen, guys, but worthwhile.

I think working with Van Dyke Parks was a brilliant idea. Those strings are perfectly matched to her songwriting idiosyncrancies. Also, having Steve Albini record her harp and voice was a pretty good idea, sonically.

She's playing in my town pretty soon.  Is she worth going to see you think?  I'm pretty strapped for money.

Absolutely amazing album.  She's coming here December 5th, and I'll definately be there, especially after Tommy's story there.

it really is an amazing album I just wish I could catch her on tour.
