Joanna Newsom and the Ys Street Band EP
Joanna Newsom is releasing an EP titled Joanna Newsom and the Ys Street Band on April 24. The album will bring fans one new song, Colleen, lasting 6:41, though Joanna is known for releasing 16 minute songs. Two tracks follow Colleen: a new version of Clam, Crab, Cockle, Cowrie, and a new version of Cosmia. The EP was recorded with Newsom's touring band, hence the name of the album.
Joanna Newsom and the Ys Street Band is Newsom's third release, with two self-released preceeding her 2004 solo debut. This EP follows the critically acclaimed Ys, spanning 55:41 with five songs. Born in 1982, this harpist, pianist, and harpsichordist has also collaborated with Golden Shoulders, The Pleased, Nervous Cop, Vetiver, Smog (Bill Callahan), and Vashti Bunyan. She has toured with Will Oldham, Devendra Barnhart, and Vetiver. (Wikipedia)
Europeans will have the opportunity to see Joanna Newsom and the Ys-ers, from April 14 to May 5. During the last week of April she will be touring with Alasdair Roberts in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, and Holland. Following this, on April 29, Joanna is performing at All Tomorrow's Parties festival in Glastonbury, UK.
