Joanna Newsom - Divers (Vinyl)

Description

"Her most dynamic and exhilarating album...what surprises every time is her ceaselessly renewing sensitivity for life's vicissitudes and the fantastic ways she finds to express them". (Pitchfork )"Newsom's brainiest album, which is no small claim, but also her prettiest...The melodies unfold in ways that are hard to predict but surprisingly easy to learn by heart, after a few days of repeated listening, and repeated listening is what Divers demands." (New Yorker) "We tell ourselves stories in order to live, Joan Didion, a smart Californian just like Newsom, once wrote. But what if, at least in music, the stories that give songs magic are the listeners as much as the artists? If Newsoms songs recall painful or happy memories from our own lives, isnt that enough?" (The Fader)
