Joanna Newsom (Some call her pscyh-folk, others call her avant-garde, but she really defies all genres. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9djWq0fP6s) has a new album coming out in a few days, a triple LP clocking in at a staggering two hours titled Have One on Me. And, since from a leak that sprung a few days ago it's already looking to be the best album of the year, I figured the girl needed some praise.

Anyone else a fan?

I gotta get this, Milk-Eyed Mender and Ys are both great.

The album's more in the vein of Ys, but the arrangements are a lot more accessible. IMO it's the highlight of her career so far.

I've got it, just haven't had two hours to spare to really listen to it.

My favorite artist. Really looking forward to this, it's sitting on my itunes but I probably won't listen until I get the LP in the mail the next couple of days

In terms of her other wok, Ys I feel is better, but I love The Milk-Eyed Mender more, and I know it's kind of early, I mean really early, to be talking about her next album(if she has one), but I would love something just in the vein of The Milk-Eyed Mender again, because that record is perfect.

I definitely agree. All of her CD's are great so far, but Milk Eyed Mender has a more minimalist feeling.. it's mostly just her and the harp, while her new CD has a lot of more to the arrangements. I'm only halfway through, but so far, it's easily her best batch of songs.

I really liked what youtube singles I've heard from the new album, but I haven't gotten a chance to pick it up yet.
