What is this album even about?

haven't listened to this yet, i hear it is prog folk, anything like harmonium?

lady with cute old lady/baby voice sings cool folk songs with orchestra behind her and it's beautiful

It's really good. It may take a couple of listens to sink in because it doesn't have traditional pop song structures, but that also gives it incredible relistenability

i just marathoned and binged the whole album.
it's good.

neat. Eventually you may want to check out the Live at Bottletree bootleg. It has a performance of the entire album but with different arrangements

why is this shit not official?

bump

Where can we find this?

Dude, this is a big privilege. Enjoy your first listen, i wish i could have mine back

>Emily is about her relationship with her sister
Indeed and Emily is an astrophysicist so she deliberately does the meteroid/meteorite/meteor thing wrong as a little inside joke/tease :3

It's about life and love and it's the only album that can make this jaded metalhead tear up

Joanna Newsom - Live at Bottletree, Birmingham, AL (2006) [V0]
>Bootleg from Joanna's Ys tour. She plays the album in its entirety, among other songs, with the backing arrangments played on various folk instruments by her touring band. I think if the studio cuts had these versions of the arrangements then Ys would probably be the greatest folk album of all time.

Here's a really great interview where she goes in depth about it:

thewire.co.uk/in-writing/interviews/joanna-newsom.1

About the album cover:
>And I had scenes I wanted to talk aobut - one of which was an idea of decadence, but also one of decay, like a little room with flowers everywhere, and bugs crawling over the flowers, and a skull, and poppies in the hair, which is like an opiated drugged reference, and the wheat which is fertility - there's all these references to physicality and death, and excess. And all contained in this very airless space - and the posture's extremely stiff, implying a corseted or breathless sense - hot summer air... There's also the sickle in the hand which is another reference to wheat but also a reference to a line in the song

The meadowlark and the chim-choo-ree and the sparrow
Set to the sky in a flying spree, for the sport of the pharaoh
Little while later the Pharisees dragged a comb through the meadow
Do you remember what they called up to you and me, in our window?
There is a rusty light on the pines tonight
Sun pouring wine, lord, or marrow
Down into the bones of the birches
And the spires of the churches
Jutting out from the shadows
The yoke, and the axe, and the old smokestacks and the bale and the barrow
And everything sloped like it was dragged from a rope
In the mouth of the south below
We've seen those mountains kneeling, felten and grey
We thought our very hearts would up and melt away
From that snow in the nighttime
Just going
And going
And the stirring of wind chimes
In the morning
In the morning
Helps me find my way back in
From the place where I have been
And, Emily - I saw you last night by the river
I dreamed you were skipping little stones across the surface of the water
Frowning at the angle where they were lost, and slipped under forever
In a mud-cloud, mica-spangled, like the sky'd been breathing on a mirror
Anyhow - I sat by your side, by the water
You taught me the names of the stars overhead that I wrote down in my ledger
Though all I knew of the rote universe were those Pleiades loosed in December
I promised you I'd set them to verse so I'd always remember
That the meteorite is a source of the light
And the meteor's just what we see
And the meteoroid is a stone that's devoid of the fire that propelled it to thee
And the meteorite’s just what causes the light
And the meteor’s how it’s perceived
And the meteoroid’s a bone thrown from the void
That lies quiet and offering to thee

Yes sir

Stop using these shitty quality covers.

I bought this at a Goodwill for like $0.50 just because the woman on the cover was hot.

Based retard

Well, it tells different stories. There’s one about her sister, one about a manipulative monkey that tricks a bear to do everything he doesn’t want to (basically a metaphor for a toxic relationship), other one is about her dead friend (but using comparisons with moths) and another one is most likely about a man returning from war (the song is also about his wife)

Those are Emily, Monkey & Bear, Cosmia and Only Skin

What is Sawdust & Diamonds about?

AND SILENTLY FROM ALL THE BLOOMING CHERRY TREES
IN TINY NOOSES, SAFE FROM EVERYONE
NOTHING BUT A NUISANCE,
GONE NOW DEAD AND DONE

>what did she mean by this?

>If you dislike her voice at first listen, keep going. You'll love it later on.
Nah, I love the music/song structures on the record but her voice remains an obstacle to fully enjoying it.

i always got the impression that sawdust was kind of a proto-baby birch and was partially about an abortion/miscarriage, among other things of course

>he listens to women "artists"
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

in a good way right

Holy based

She sounds like a duck.

Name one (1) male artist better than Joanna Newsom

That isn't even correct art

Just listened to this for the first time. Loved it. There are some great live videos on YT too.

She married to Andy Samberg lol

it always gave me strong The Sound and the Fury vibes
why is that?

It's the vinyl cover art faggot, and it's better than the CD cover art.

Yeah for sure.

miscarriage

I think Sawdust and Diamonds is about the baby she miscarried (there is a reference to this aswell in Emily, the lines "row through the night time so healthy gone healthy all of a sudden in search of a midwife who can help me" is possibly a reference to how women who suffer miscarriages often feel "better" physically after it's happened; I personally always thought Emily was about how her relationship with her sister was damaged after all the family drama related to the miscarriage, and how she wanted to restore their relationship).
Some moments in Sawdust and Diamonds also strike me as being clearly about miscarriage, first about how she has trouble dealing with the pain of her loss and then eventually with the acceptance of the futily of it all (the line about it all being like a sand castle that the gibbering wave takes) and hopes of being better ( "so enough of this terror we deserve to know light and grow evermore lighter and lighter")

did she actually have a miscarriage? can't find anything about it on the internet

She has referenced it in Baby Birch, possibly Sawdust & Diamonds, and Emily. She stays out of the media though, so you find any stories on it.

wonky, traditional, rural
i feel the vibe too user

i honestly have no fucking idea what all the lyrics are about but i still consider this album a 10. i even like the lyrics, although i don't get the metaphors since i'm a brainlet

The lyrics are great, couple with her delivery and inflections just fucking blows me away. She big brain and she cute
