Dive, listener, knowing that your next hour will be filled with\u003cbr\u003ediversions aplenty: a wheeling circuit of sci-fi sea-shanties and cavalier\u003cbr\u003eballads, narrated from parts unknown; a family of polysemic song-sets; a\u003cbr\u003eparanomasaic Liederkreis of harmonic sympathies and knotted hierarchies; a\u003cbr\u003efanfare of brazen puns and martial lullabies, blazing in sorrow and horseplay\u003cbr\u003eand love, in turns symphonic and spare, joined by Mellotrons and Marxophones\u003cbr\u003eand Moogs, clavichords and celestas—and of course the harp, thrumming its\u003cbr\u003ethrenodies of circadian invasions and avian irruptions and strange loops of\u003cbr\u003eShepard-toned resonant-frequencies and something called goddamned\u003cbr\u003eSimulacreage... The music of Divers is a wonder of considered arrangements — a taut line,\u003cbr\u003ethreaded with the pearls of passed and passing times...a round, a chant, an\u003cbr\u003eincantation...a ray of light diverted eleven ways, into eleven songs that\u003cbr\u003estriate, in chromatic collusion, their simultaneous arc...a span that takes in\u003cbr\u003elifetimes, but is immaculately sequenced for telescoped brevity. The music\u003cbr\u003espeeds with dissociative dread over montaged cityscapes; it hoofs with delight\u003cbr\u003eamong the collaged quotations and sepia-toned codices of Popular Song; it ambles\u003cbr\u003eits carefree citational course through the public domain and down into the\u003cbr\u003edustier corners of municipal parks, to lionize infamous airmen and anonymous\u003cbr\u003eDutch Masters, to mourn pearl divers and Poorwills, and to elegize the\u003cbr\u003eineluctable tragedy of relativity — a tragedy of parochial time, anecdotal\u003cbr\u003etime, dubious time... At the center of the mythos and the maelstrom is the\u003cbr\u003ewoman. Divers reminds us that Newsom is a melodist, above all — an acolyte of melody and beauty in\u003cbr\u003eform, a crackerjack of emotional truth conveyed with undiluted immediacy. “The\u003cbr\u003eThings I Say” seems a naked admission, after the epic swales of war and peace\u003cbr\u003ethat precede it, and yet this sudden moment of piano and voice falls seamlessly\u003cbr\u003einto the flow, buffeted by the haunting winds of a musical saw and\u003cbr\u003etime-slipping reversal at the finish. ...so that, at the aortic confluence of\u003cbr\u003esuch a complexity of strings and wires, winking beneath the lacquered layers of\u003cbr\u003einstrumental nacre, biding quietly between the ranges ofrhapsodic\u003cbr\u003earrangement—including those by Nico Muhly,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/23\/15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: CD mini-LP style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JITRE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 72 hours for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: CD mini-LP style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/23\/15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Paladin Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42617505120279,"sku":"9XNFA7-7H6H-GR","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/8099\/9959\/files\/joanna-newsom-divers_iN8WV.jpg?v=1755610315","url":"https:\/\/animeimports.net\/products\/joanna-newsom-divers-cd","provider":"Anime Imports LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
