{"product_id":"milk-eyed-mender","title":"Milk-Eyed Mender","description":"Personnel: Joanna Newsom (vocals, vocals, harp, piano, Wurlitzer piano, harpsichord); Noah Georgeson (guitar, background vocals).\u003cbr\u003eJoanna Newsom plays the harp, looks like an elf princess, and sings in a squeaky child-like voice, all of which contribute to her unique charm. Like her pal and frequent collaborator Devendra Banhart, she's also a shining light of the early 2000s neo-folk movement, which bonds quirky wordplay and fuzzy eccentricity with a deep reverence for authentic rural folk.\u003cbr\u003eWhether accompanying herself on harp, harpsichord, or piano, Newsom plunges into the archaic depths of American roots music and cherry-picks the most heartbreaking passages, weaving everything together with lyrics of shockingly formal eloquence that present dense poetic imagery in the vein of BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME-era Dylan. Songs like \"Sprout and the Bean,\" \"Peach, Plum, Pear,\" and \"Sadie\" weave enough elaborate visions for a dozen ballads, adding something more than the expected folksy tweeness. Throughout THE MILK-EYED MENDER, Newsom's lulling harp and odd vocalizing combine to create something utterly original, yet deeply familiar, standing firm at the crossroads between outsider art and genuine brilliance.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45581757677855,"sku":"781484026310","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/006400152d0c1e769b44456bd87d773d.jpg?v=1780571999","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/milk-eyed-mender","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
