What a stunning curiosity Joanna Newsom is; hard to believe Devendra is the one who ended up as the figurehead of “freak folk” when she’s up there with a harp, right? But acclaimed records like The Milk-Eyed Mender and Ys instead set her up as the indisputable princess of indie folk over the course of the mid-aughts (presumably those genres are mutually exclusive), her enthusiastic reception by fans and critics alike due roughly in equal measure to the bizarre medieval-Appalachia redneck-knight vibe her chosen instrument brought to the mixes and to her occasional fits of borderline-Bjorky chirps. Her new triple album Have On One Me just came out on February 23.
