Albums similar to this?

Literally none.

There are some albums which feel as big in scope, I guess, but nothing that sounds like this.

>>73066809
Obvious suggestion is Stormcock by Roy Harper, which was one of the direct influences for this album.

>>73066939
definitley check this one out OP, great record
>>73066809
maybe try Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom. Not super similar but you will enjoy it

Nina Nastasia if you want more of that Albini sound.

>>73067228
>Albini sound

Albini doesn't have a sound, he just records and does basic mixing. He's not a producer.
He only recorded the harp and vocals on this album anyway.

>>73066809
Have One On Me

>>73067461
I can tell you were part of that Albini thread that was arguing about engineer vs producer.

>>73066939
Sounds nothing like Ys but I'm liking it a lot

There's nothing else like Ys

Only suggestions I can give you would be Stormcock like the other anon said and Song Cycle by Van Dyke Parks

I've never listened to Newsom.
Should I just hop onto YS or listen to something else first?

>>73067843
Ys is her best starting point. Every song on it is great.

>>73067843
It's by far her least accessible album and imo not a good place to start.

I would start with either HOOM or MEM.

>>73067867
>>73067972
I rec starting with Ys. It may be less accessible but if you have experience with long winding music and aren't new to music you should have no problem

>>73067843
Just go chronologically, to see the evolution

>>73066809
>>73066926
Kate Bush sometimes sounds similar

>>73067461
It's very easy to tell when an album is recorded by him. The only guy who comes close to his sound is Bob Weston.

>>73068086
Her voice is sometimes similar, but the songwriting of Newsom blows Bush far, far out of the water.

>>73068075
First album is shit.

Wouldn't recommend that.

>>73068480
Your taste is shit

>>73068480
Ys>MEM>HOOM>Divers

all great though

She was recently in Inherent Vice (which she also narrated if I remember right). She was also in portlandia

>>73069007

She played the mom in the MGMT's video for Kids

>>73069069
Can't believe Adam Sandler gets to pork that every night and then get serenaded by her buttlifting harp performance.

>>73069069
>based on a Pynchon novel
>directed by PTA
>narrated by Joanna Newsom
>scored by Jonny Greenwood
Most patrician film of the decade?

>>73067485
this. If you like Ys than HOoM will change your life

>>73069069
>>73069207
I tried to read the book a while ago but i got bored. Should i give it another try or should i just see the movie

Vashti Bunyan maybe? Not overwhelmingly similar, but she has a similar voice in the upper parts of her range.

>>73069945
Pynchon is a /lit/ meme.

>>73068480
what a fucking dumbass

>>73071050

fucking pseud

>>73069945
Both. Movie and book are fantastic in my opinion.

>>73069945
Pynchon is infamous for writing fantastically cryptic and dense historical metafiction novels (some of which are considered the twentieth century ever produced) and then also writing shit off-season novels for no reason. His best are Gravity's Rainbow, Against the Day, Mason & Dixon, V, and his shitty meme books are Inherent Vice, Bleeding Edge, and Vineland

>>73069945
I thought the movie was pretty average, I haven't read it, but I feel like it would work better as a novel

>>73071648
*considered the greatest
tl;dr ignore the book see the movie tee bee haych fàm

>>73066809

Joanna Newsom always reminded me of Joni Mitchell, although not so much in Ys as in Have One on Me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm39YkGrHp8

>>73069217

Greatest ass in music

>>73069207
Yes it's pretty fantastic

>>73069945
Try it again. Maybe read Crying of Lot 49 to get used to the style first. The movie will also let you understand the basic (read: lack of)plot and lift the books a bit

>>73071886
>Pincone
>lack of plots

Confirmed for not having read Pinocchio, the whole point about his novels is that there are so much fucking different plots going on, intertwined with each other that this is why you can't know what is going on.

>>73067843
start with hoom or divers. Ys or mem are both almost grating on first listen

>>73067843

Start with the greeks

I love Joanna but seriously fuck her for not being on spotify

>>73071965
It's a lot easier to describe Pynchon to plebs as not having a plot to make it easier for them to just take the book as it is rather than complaining about it being "weird" or "boring" or whatever the fuck

>>73072008
Her interview about spotify is actually really neato, as is her view of it being a personification of evil. I am disappointed her music isn't available to buy through Google play, I pirated it because of that

>>73072050
>>73072008
It's her label Drag City that keeps their artists off of spotify anyways, it's not necessarily her own decision.

>>73072050
that description makes her seem way more kooky than she is, so here's what I assume you're referring to for people to see for themselves

wow, i have this disc...it's really good & i'm mostly a rock guy

>>73073532
Yeah she's severely underrated here

>>73073480
>>73073532
>>73073553
I've never heard of this chick before, but I'm really enjoying this so far. Thanks m8.

>>73073564

She was on a label called "Grass Roots Records"
I'm pretty sure it went under in a few years.. but most of the albums they put out were quality

>>73067972
>>73068075
>>73071984
>>73071991

Yeah I was afraid it might be too inaccessible for me. Thanks anons.

I don't know how you're browsing the archive but this is like the 4th result for "newsom ys mega".
There's pretty much always links for albums which are popular here, even though now there's a gap between like 2014 and 2017

Try some Josephine Foster. Not the exactly same but you might like her.

This is from an EP that you can find in the archives.

>>73066809
This is by far my favorite album and there's nothing that comes close. I actually wonder if it's a good or a bad thing

>>73067843
start with the first album like you would any artist

>>73071991
but first the greeks

I get Incredible String Band vibes from Ys but it might just be me.

Interesting, considering how small it is.
