Joanna Newsom

[realspiel]

Joanna is a bit marmite for some, I think she is a modern day genius and love her new song, the end us just sublime, anyone else?

[The Telepathic Kid]

Yeah she's pretty damn fantastic. Both Ys and Have One on Me continue to grow on me, even though I've loved Have One on Me since it dropped.
She has a beautiful way of writing songs which extend and explore certain musical themes and ideas.

She can make 11 minutes seem like a pop song. It's fantastic.

[Solynth]

Album of the year for sure.

[The Telepathic Kid]

The title track of Divers is a fantastic showcase of how to build a song.

Each time a new section starts, it feels all the more intense, yet the musical palette feels different from the previous section.

[IanRedpoint]

Divers is still feeling a little impenetrable to me, but Have One On me was the same. Have to hear it a good few times to get a grip on the songs.

[asymmetrical head]

thread made me revisit Ys... that's the only Joanna Newsom I have. Will give the others a listen.

[The Telepathic Kid]

that's interesting Ian, since I feel Have One on Me was her most accessible record to date.

The only impenetrable part of it was the running time.

[warphead]

Beerwolf mode.

Nothing but one hundred per cent hate from me. Pretty girl though, and I'm sure she makes a wonderful vegetable curry, and she's probable wonderful company.

But fuck listening to her music. Sorry.

[machinea]

I've not been into her solo stuff much at all, it's not my speed but her iamamiwhoami project was crazy and interesting. I especially loved T.

[warphead]

Apologies for the aggressive rant above^^

I should save that behaviour for watmm. I think the Fuck You Teenage Metalhead part of me shall never go away. Which is a good thing (sometimes lol)

[Amo Bishop Roden]

Just bought tickets to see her in Buffalo in a month, very excited

[The Telepathic Kid]

Joanna was never involved with iamamiwhoami, that's all Swedish.
Newsom is American.
