Joanna Newsom - Ys (Drag City)
Text: Phil Hebblethwaite
The kind of highly musical and almost inconceivably ambitious record that you think you ought to like, but somehow end up despising.
Twenty-four-year-old harp player Newsom has oodles of ideas and talent, but she takes herself way, way too seriously and has one of those voices that makes you want to torch your stereo.
