Trying that Joanna Newsom's album. Nice enough, but I don't understand why it's got a reputation for being so "difficult", it sounds pretty standard to me.

 

Probably because of the length of the songs, non-standard lyrical preoccupations, occasional nails-down-chalkboard voice. I quite like it, but I far prefer The Milk-Eyed Mender.

The more standard song structures on The Milk Eyed Mender made it far easier to get into for me. I like Ys but I find myself getting a bit bored of some of the songs as they go on and on.

Yeah, she is way over-hyped. Nice touches with arrangements here and there but she really is nothing special.

 

I prefer the more palatable Marissa Nadler when it comes to this kind of music. In fact, her new album is probably one of the best i've heard so far in 2007.

She taught me to play some of her songs! ;)
