Black and white photos of her lounging on a chair wearing what sort of looks like a bathing suit with overall type straps over the shoulders.

Analog recording + orchestra + 2 hours of music + cost of harp upkeep. Probably cost at least 50k to make. $25 for three vinyls.

^ Likely comp'd, or discounted. At least, I hope so.

You are correct, I jumped the gun. Its all lyrics and recording info, just seemed like there had to be more to it than that. I forget how many words she crams into songs.

Thing is, "Ys" had long songs, but it was 1 CD, so was digestible.
This is 3 CDs of long (and some not so long, heck one's short!) songs.
I haven't attempted it yet!

I saw it there on Friday afternoon -- politely inquired that I didn't think it had been released yet, and they replied that they had heard otherwise from Drag City, and put it onto the shelves that day, so who knows...

The pictures on the sleeve covers and the lyric book certainly back up her emphasizing the "hot" Joanna Newsom. Black and white photos of her lounging on a chair wearing what sort of looks like a bathing suit with overall type straps over the shoulders.
This is sad, but was due to happen sooner or later, I suppose. Gotta inject something new into her image, it'd be impossible to keep up with the "Hipster Renaissance Fair" look of Ys forever...

i am playing hard to get and waiting til i can pick this up next week before listening, but the pitchfork review of it is great, so clear and devoid of cliche

Slightly off-topic, but I would suggest, with the best intentions, that naming shops that are perhaps selling things early is not always going to do them a good turn.
I know of specific instances where blog posts and message board chat has landed local independents round here in minor bother on such fronts.
Not that any shops would do such things, of course. Also, I genuinely don't know the specifics of the release date and Drag City and US indies communications in this case. It's more of a general point that I'm trying to raise.

so apparently after going massively out of the way to make sure it didn't leak they're releasing it ten days later in europe?

Yes, love her vocal on that one. I kind of see what people were saying upthread about the repetitive melodies but obviously this is going to take a while to unpack fully.

"the repetitive melodies" - yeah,those lazy one line melodies are always boring...though lots of people love Nick Drake so i guess i'm in the minority here..
