A true artist...
i bought ys back when it received a fair bit of acclaim, & also because she was associated with bill callahan for a spell if i remember correctly - i'm a huge callahan/smog fan.
i liked it quite a bit, but i did find its mood of preciousness wore a bit thin with me fairly quickly.
i'm glad you like her, though.
My favourite album of hers is her first 'The Milk Eyed Mender' which is pure magic. I'd have to agree though that some of her later stuff including 'Ys' makes me question her grip on sanity. But you know what they say about genius and madness...
i'll give it a try. music's been dead to me for a little spell, but i've found myself getting a bit back into things & am definitely looking for some new sounds.
thanks for the heads up.
You're welcome. Joanna Newsom's 'The Milk Eyed Mender' reminds me of Joni Mitchell to an extent. It is a unique album and like Mitchell Newsom was an only child and her parents didn't allow her to watch television so she was thrown back into her own imagination. Another one off so to speak.
