Synthesizer Patel Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 i've not really got any news on anything, but i've just been listening to a couple of the new songs she's been playing and it's made me slightly desperate to hear of any news on a new release. anyone know anything? post it here. i've got this link to ribbon bows (a new song with her piano which sounds great) and apparently there are these new songs being played in concert: Esme Ribbon Bows Baby Birch California Love You Again anyone got any info?

Orkie Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Great news. Thx for posting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Haven't heard anything, but two years on and Ys still pretty much does my head in anytime I listen to it, what an incredible piece of music. I'm certainly looking forward to it's eventual follow up. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesizer Patel Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 a couple of those songs, at least, are played on piano - so i'm expecting the album to be far less orchestrated and a bit more 1970s, laid back, than ys. ribbon bows does sound great, almost gospel sounding at times, her singing is just so liquid and versatile at the moment.

owl Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 That EP she released was really good. I wouldn't mind if her new release sounded more like that. Hopefully retro equals not 1975 but 1575. Can't wait for something new. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

owl Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Yeah, definitely looking forward to this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blindgonzo Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 so, rumours have it that Joanna's next album will be out February 23rd! I am super excited about this!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesizer Patel Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 the word on the street is that this is going to be a TRIPLE ALBUM! if that is true, then this is going to be very interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesizer Patel Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 it is a triple album, and here is the track list: Disc One:1 - Easy 06:042 - Have One On Me 11:023 - ‘81 03:514 - Good Intentions Paving Company 07:025 - No Provenance 06:256 - Baby Birch 09:30 Disc Two:1 - On A Good Day 01:482 - You And Me, Bess 07:123 - In California 08:414 - Jackrabbits 04:235 - Go Long 08:026 - Occident 05:31 Disc Three:1 - Soft As Chalk 06:292 - Esme 07:563 - Autumn 08:014 - Ribbon Bows 06:105 - Kingfisher 09:116 - Does Not Suffice 06:44 you can find the track '81 if you search a bit online, drag city were streaming it, but took it down for some reason. it's very beautiful, just her and a harp for this track.

Synthesizer Patel Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Good Intentions Paving Company was streaming on drag city (i don't know if it's still there). It is very very good! I highly recommend trying to find it for download. There are drums, piano, harmonies, a horn solo at the end, banjo - it also doesn't really sound like anything she's done before, which is always nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I am ridiculously excited for this thing. It looks like they're doing everything they can to prevent it from leaking (no advanced copies were sent out). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 When I heard that it was a 3xLP, I expected All Things Must Pass or Sandanista! levels of epic-ness, and it appears that this might deliver. I don't know if anyone can come close to those two 3xLPs in sheer level of awesome, but I'll be damned if Joanna Newsom flops trying to shoot for it (she may not "reach" those levels but she'll at least get close).

solace Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Good Intentions Paving Company was streaming on drag city (i don't know if it's still there). It is very very good! I highly recommend trying to find it for download. There are drums, piano, harmonies, a horn solo at the end, banjo - it also doesn't really sound like anything she's done before, which is always nice. yeah... great song and her voice has lost most any/all of the squaking/shreiking she used to do. it's amazing how she's gone from her voice being unlistenable to me on the first album to digging Y's quite a bit, to being pretty damn excited for this new album. (although i'm a bit unsure i'll listen to a 3 disc album that often) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I just hope she doesn't get all lazy and record her harp direct. Mic the amp for fuck's sake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blindgonzo Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 there's another new song streaming on the drag city website: http://www.dragcity.com/ I am really freakin' excited about this album!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Synthesizer Patel Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 I just hope she doesn't get all lazy and record her harp direct. Mic the amp for fuck's sake. Well played. I didn't get that until you said, "well played." I assume it's in reference to what I said about the production of the last wilco album, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
