We'll skip the de rigueur condescending metaphors involving storybook creatures that still, unfortunately, pop up whenever the Joanna Newsom news cycle gets going, and simply note that you can listen to the new album from the fantastically talented songwriter (and former PAPER Beautiful Person) over at
NPR.
Divers, Newsom's fourth album, will be released this Friday. On first listen, it's great but a lot to take in, as per usual. So you may as well get started now so you can have an informed opinion by the weekend.
