=4ht Studio Album For Californian Harpist/ Keyboardist= |
| | Description: | 2015 release from the harpist, keyboardist, singer and songwriter. Divers is Newsom's first album since 2010. Good heavens - five years go by - what can one do? Dive, listener, knowing that your next hour will be filled with diversions aplenty: a wheeling circuit of sci-fi sea-shanties and cavalier ballads, narrated from parts unknown; a family of polysemic song-sets; a paranomasaic Liederkreis of harmonic sympathies and knotted hierarchies; a fanfare of brazen puns and martial lullabies, blazing in sorrow and horseplay and love, in turns symphonic and spare, joined by Mellotrons and Marxophones and Moogs, clavichords and celestas and of course the harp, thrumming its threnodies of circadian invasions and avian irruptions and strange loops of Shepard-toned resonant-frequencies and something called goddamned Simulacreage. The music of Divers is a wonder of considered arrangements a taut line, threaded with the pearls of passed and passing times...a round, a chant, an incantation...a ray of light diverted eleven ways, into eleven songs that striate, in chromatic collusion, their simultaneous arc...a span that takes in lifetimes, but is immaculately sequenced for telescoped brevity. The music speeds with dissociative dread over montaged cityscapes; it hoofs with delight among the collaged quotations and sepia-toned codices of Popular Song; it ambles its carefree citational course through the public domain and down into the dustier corners of municipal parks, to lionize infamous airmen and anonymous Dutch Masters, to mourn pearl divers and Poorwills, and to elegize the ineluctable tragedy of relativity a tragedy of parochial time, anecdotal time, dubious time.(c)2015 Joanna Newsom, BMI.

Track 11 contains a sample of "Mourning Dove -- Zenaida Macroura" recorded by William R. Fish."Various" on CD is a stylistically diverse compilation released by the independent label Drag City, known for its adventurous, artist-driven catalog. This release brings together a carefully curated selection of tracks that reflect the label's distinctive aesthetic: intimate songwriting, off-kilter folk, experimental pop and left-field indie sounds. Rather than focusing on a single artist, "Various" highlights the breadth of Drag City's universe, moving from delicate, acoustic pieces to more angular, exploratory arrangements. The sequencing is conceived to feel like a coherent journey, making the CD suitable both for attentive listening with headphones and as an atmospheric backdrop at home. Audiophiles and collectors will appreciate the physical CD format, which offers reliable sound quality and a tangible, archivable way to enjoy this collection. The artwork and packaging (typical for Drag City) underline the independent, slightly unconventional spirit of the label and make "Various" an attractive addition to any CD library.
Drag City, founded in the early 1990s in Chicago, has built a strong reputation as one of the most influential independent labels for alternative, folk and experimental music. Over the years, it has become a home for idiosyncratic artists and long-term artistic development, preferring creative freedom over mainstream trends. Releases on Drag City are often characterized by high artistic standards, distinctive packaging and a loyal fan base that follows the label's catalog as a quality stamp in itself. With "Various," Drag City once again underlines its role as a curator of unique musical voices, presenting a compilation that captures the range and depth of its roster without resorting to commercial clichés.
The musical spectrum on "Various" ranges from quietly shimmering, song-oriented material to more adventurous tracks that play with form, texture and dynamics. This makes the CD particularly appealing to listeners who appreciate discovery: every track opens a slightly different door into the Drag City microcosm, making repeated listening rewarding. Because the compilation is not tied to a particular scene or short-lived trend, it works as a timeless snapshot of a label that consistently operates outside of the mainstream. For fans of independent music who enjoy stylistic breadth and carefully compiled samplers, "Various" is an ideal way to dive into or further explore the Drag City sound world.
Although Joanna Newsom is named in the product information, "Various" functions as a mixed-artist carrier and thus places the focus squarely on diversity rather than a single personality. Listeners familiar with Drag City's catalog will recognize the label's trademark combination of adventurous songwriting and strong, individual artistic voices. Newcomers, on the other hand, will find an accessible entry point that is less intimidating than diving straight into one specific artist's discography. As a CD, "Various" also has value for collectors who appreciate Drag City's releases as cohesive art objects where music, curation and presentation form a unified whole. | | | No. of tracks: |
