Anyone check out the new Joanna Newsom album yet? Swan Lake's got a lot of work to do if they're going to snatch the album of the year award from me. Talk about mind-blowing! Jesus.

Cosmia returns to me my faith in harps.
That may or may not be a sentence, but it's true.

as excellent as i was expecting. some of the songs are played a bit slow compared to live versions, but the quality of her singing on this is incredible. i loved her voice before, but i also love how it has matured since her first album.
the orchestration is nice; the strings aren't so special, but the accordian, jaw harp, horse skull, banjo, bill callahan, etc. are all super good. um, i still haven't heard "monkey & bear" 'cause it's the only one i wasn't already familiar with from live versions and i want to wait for the album to actually come out. but i expect that one to be as great as the rest.

"Monkey and Bear" has the most interesting production of the album, especially in the introductory passages. You won't be disappointed!

This is far and away my favorite album of the year. Monkey and Bear is so good.
