Joanna Newsom Strikes Back

Joanna Newsom's new album is going to be called Have One On Me WE CAN UNEXCLUSIVELY REVEAL. Doesn't exactly sound like it'll be a retread of the magnificent and genuinely magical Ys, does it? Doesn't sound like a Joanna Newsom album title at all, if we're honest.

But we're sure it'll be 'spectacks' nevertheless. In the words of her label's website (i.e. here comes the cut and paste bit):

"Spunk is thrilled to announce the forthcoming Joanna Newsom album ‘Have One On Me’, due for release February 19.

This is Joanna’s third full length album. Her last record ‘Ys’ was a conceptual masterpiece of ethereal harp, lush vocals and expansive, complex orchestrations arranged by Van Dyke Parks, and was recently voted one of the Albums of the Decade by Pitchfork and Mojo Magazine.

‘Have On One Me’ is released in Australia via Spunk February 19, and released the rest of the world February 23 on Drag City."

Really fucking excited.

UPDATE:

We just found this comic strip on Newsom's er... other label's 'site: Drag City. It is, as the French would say, 'sympa', and also 'lols'.
