sawdust and diamonds

there's been a lot of slavering from the broadsheet music journos over this LP by Joanna Newsom.
It's all deserved, it's a fantastic record. Very long, wordy songs, trilled by a startlingly peculiar voice which is just the right side of horrendous tweeness. I'm not describing it very well - again, but it's one of the best lps I've picked up this year.
Which I probably wouldn't have done had Alex and Anna not picked tracks from it on their own 'best of' cds...
