 Notes & Reviews
 
 
So Mommsy and Daddy are rich enough to indulge little petal/precious. This is sub-Kate Bush neo-hippy wank. The record label's name says it all.

Truly spectacular!
- Conor Murray, 11/12/2008, Ireland

Joanna needs to stop singing occasionally and let her music breathe.

Full title is: Ys


A new Joanna Newsom album - yes! Well actually, Ys. Pronounced ''ees.'' It's the title of an almost unspeakably incredible new Joanna Newsom album. Five songs, fifty-five minutes, one what-an-album! Ys is to Ms. Newsom a dream collaboration between her voice and harp and a full orchestra - a sound many of us fans have thought we were hearing when listening with closed eyes at her concert performances. Songs familiar to Joanna's following are a big part of Ys, having been performed in concert over the past year - but not with the arrangements you'll find on four of the five songs here. The wide-screen beauty of Ys is due to, among other things, a scrupulously all-analog production involving forty-odd tracks spread over two synched-up 24-track tape machines, mixed to tape and mastered at Abbey Road, home of the all-analog mastering path!
