New album is her best album, easy.

new album is fantastic, still like the debut better tho

Perhaps less immediate than the last one. Not sure what to think after two listens in an hour.

production is like slow rain on a pond

Absolutely love the new record

going to see her tonight, will report back

well ??

new (february, 2019) record is a+ btw

Quiet Signs is still my favorite album of the year after When I Get Home.

I revisited Quiet Signs today after a while, and it's still gorgeous and perfect. Probably my favorite album of its kind since Vashti Bunyan's Heartleap. Beyond her lovely distinctive voice and tastefully spare instrumentation, she makes a lot of compositional choices that really hit the pleasure centers in my brain: ample use of the Dorian mode, lots of major 7th chords. It's fairly short at 28 minutes, but not a second is wasted

Quiet Signs so beautiful. Spun her first album till it burnt and figured there couldn't be much modification on the work in her other albums to be worth visiting. I was wrong, what a bright and pretty set of tunes. Quiet Signs is Joao Gilberto and S/T is Pink Moon, same instruments but two different worlds.

Yeah, it is good, despite my vagueness above in 2019 lol. It's actually been on intermittent rotation on my car CD player for many months after a surprise appearance in a large local retailer's 'clearance' bins. (Weirdly, that still applies, antipodeans!)

I gasped when I saw this revive. Please, JP, it’s been 5 years.

i need to revisit her records soon

xp I also gasped on revive. I love Quiet Signs so much. Was gonna try to explain why but looks like I did that upthread a couple years ago...

Sorry bout the false flag hah

she's sorta vanished (from the Internet) but I'd love a surprise return with album #4

Not to jump on you too H.P., but I had a similar reaction. It wasn't a gasp, but definitely an audible, "FINALLY" when I saw it bumped.

Just found my new board gimmick. Now to find the Joanna Newsom thread….

While I’m here, Bushel Hyde. So simple, so powerful, what a song to have on your first album.

She still posts once a month or so on her twitter I think? Album #4 still a possibility

she's scheduled to play primavera sound this year so I think it's possible a new record could be out soon

^^^ well I was right! Gorgeous new track "Life Is" out now, new album Here in the Pitch on May 3

Hell yeah! Much better thread bump

This sounds so.... happy!

So good. Best thing she's done?

Calling it now. This will be her Voodoo.
