This has got under my skin. Great record. I get a lot of Joanna Newsom from this but I wonder if I just mean Van Dyke Parks.

But I wonder if Covid/budgets made that infeasible?
It very much was a factor.

Ah! Thanks, Ned. A shame if Covid undercut her ambitions--but it's still a hell of a record.
Hopefully she'll continue to include the wide sound pallette on future records--her sensibilty and songwriting really deserves it.

I like this album. She is very Bay Area in all the best ways — not retro, but steeped in that era of psych.

just realized this album's kinda Erasure-y (especially, uh, "Always")
