god, this album is fucking great! i realize this place is about IDM2, but this is worthy of a listen anyway. it leaked a bit ago (few weeks?) but i just got it now. 5 fantastic, perfectly flowing songs.

5 songs. 55 minutes. it's different and similar. it's awesome. epics. lyrics "different"? i don't know what you mean there, really. the lyrics are great, anyway. it's very impressive, all of it.

She doesnt do it for me, but i think it's because there's a horde of scandinavian artists doing something similar to that, and they are beginning to annoy me a bit.

is it just me or does the vocals on sawdust and diamonds have loads of cher style vocoder tuning going on?
epecially at the start of the song sounds like the last second of certain words are being pitch shifted a tone or two
or is that just her peculiar voice?

I want to hearr it, but I won't be getting it I don't think. In the end I didn't enjoy The Milk-Eyed Mender as much as I initially made out.

It's very different, though, so give it a shot first, yeah.
DP: I haven't really heard anyone make that kind of music anywhere else, to be honest. I don't feel Ys is very pretentious at all, calling music pretentious is actually a bit of a crutch, even though I've regrettably resorted to it in the past as well. Anyway, I didn't really like Under Byen when I saw them at Roskilde.

Milk Eyed Mender was my album of the year for 04 and 05 :) I even called Joanna the most important artist to emerge in the 21st century. but i don't like Ys. I have a bootleg of her performance at the green man festival where she does all the songs off the record but without accompaniment. then the album came out and i thought all the production and orchestration was totally sucky. :(( The only track I can listen to on Ys is Sawdust and Diamonds. the whole album is worth it because of the goodness of that track. everything else reminds me of fucking LOTR soundtrack or somesuch

I guess you are right, but i simply think it's her way of singing that annoys me a bit. I would call Kate Bush very pretentious, but i love her above anything else. Nick Cave is pretentious.
Her songwriting is very excellent tho, its her voice that sort of ruins it for me.

it's a nice album, specially for folk standards, but it's sort of too bland music for my taste.

the lyrcis may be interesting, but personally i put way more attention to music. and this is just not challenging music for me, what can i say. though it's more challenging than most folk music.

i like it. emily is probably my favourite song on it. i prefer the milk-eyed mender, though. i find that her voice on her first album (a strangled lisa simpson) is more exciting than what she does with ys. but i still like ys, which is one of my few favourite albums from this year.

Big deal, bat 'tudes r cool
I like it, Emily is immediately appealing but the rest sort of went in one ear and out the other, I'll give it some more time. I can't get the weird Disney-esque string flourishes out of my head for some reason.
