From wikipedia:

Ys is an album by Joanna Newsom. It is the follow up to The Milk-Eyed Mender and is set to be released by Drag City on November 14, 2006. The orchestral arangments were written by Van Dyke Parks and it was produced by Jim O'Rourke and recorded by Steve Albini.

Tracklisting:

1. Emily - 12:07
2. Monkey & Bear - 09:29
3. Sawdust & Diamonds - 09:54
4. Only Skin - 16:53
5. Cosmia - 07:15

Okay, the album cover is horrible beyond belief and so is the title, but The Milk Eyed Mender is great and this sounds like it'll be better. It got leaked out yesterday thanks to pitchforkmedia so if you look around you should be able to find it. If you want to hear the first track go Here (http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=33A30D2D1109A73A), it's a great song.

Yup, That's one horrible, horrible cheesy cover. How the hell did anyone look at that and say "That would be perfect as the new cover for her album!"

That first song is a keeper though.

When it comes to Emily, it's definitely not an easy listen, but it is good when you can get past that voice. "A--*squeak*--nd the river!!!"
