Joanna Newsom Career

Career

Newsom released two EPs, Walnut Whales and Yarn and Glue, between 2002 and 2003, after appearing as a guest musician on Nervous Cop's self-titled collaboration album. These handmade recordings were supposed to be a record of her early career and were not intended for public consumption. She burned many copies at her early shows at the suggestion of Noah Georgeson, her then-boyfriend and recording engineer of the EP. At a show in Nevada City, Adam Kline, Newsom's companion and bandmate in Golden Shoulders, gave Will Oldham one of her CDs to him. Oldham was enthralled with Newsom's music, and she invited her to tour with him. He also gave the CD to Drag City, the CD's owner, who also gave it to his album artist. Drag City's debut album The Milk-Eyed Mender was released in 2004 by Newsom and her first album The Milk-Eyed Mender.

Newsom performed with Devendra Banhart and Vetiver shortly after, and made a rare appearance at the Green Man Festival in Wales. The tour was the subject of The Family Jams, a 2011 documentary. At Drag City's "It's a Wonderful Next Life" Christmas party in December 2004, she performed with Smog and Weird War. She appeared on Vetiver's 2004 self-titled album and the year after on Vashti Bunyan's Lookaftering (2005). In the 2008 horror film The Strangers, the track "Sprout and the Bean" was included.

Mender the Milky Mender had sold 200,000 copies as a child in 2010 and helped her create a ferocious following. By music historian John Morrish in 2007, the album was dubbed the 12th best folk album of all time by NME.

In November 2006, her second album, Ys (/s/), was released, also by Drag City. Van Dyke Parks, engineering from Steve Albini, and mixing by Drag City label-mate Jim O'Rourke are among the album's orchestrations and arrangements. Bill Callahan recommended that she listen to the album Song Cycle by Parks, which resulted in her being chosen to schedule her work on the Ys. Newsom performed the album live in 2008 with the Brooklyn Philharmonic in New York City and with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in Sydney, Australia, to promote Ys. According to Billboard's top 134, the Ys gained Newsom's fame, charting at number 134. The album was also nominated for a 2007 Shortlist Music Award. Ys had sold 250,000 copies in 2010 as of 2010.

She appeared in the MGMT's music video for the song "Kids" in 2009. Newsom appeared on the Moore Brothers' album Aptos as a guest harpist and performed piano on Golden Shoulders' Get Reasonable in 2009. She appeared over two hours of new material at an unannounced concert in Big Sur, California, with fellow Nevada City singer-lyricist Mariee Sioux under the pseudonym the Beatles' name. Many of those present said that about one-third of her new material was performed mainly on piano, with a backing arrangement of banjo, violin, guitar, and drums.

An entry titled "@!?" (%)$#!" was published on January 12, 2010. On the Drag City website, a link was posted. It contained a link that led to the creation of "Joanna Newsom 'Have One On Me" short comic strip from February 23, 2010. Spunk!, Newsom's Australian company's Australian company, later that day, it was announced that the title and date corresponded to the title of Newsom's forthcoming album and release date. Pitchfork Media announced on February 11, 2010 that Newsom would be the subject of a tribute book called Visions of Joanna Newsom, which was published by Roan Press and features author and publisher Dave Eggers' contribution.

Have One on Me, Newsom's third studio album, was released in North America on February 23, 2010. It's a triple album that was recorded in Tokyo in 2009 and features more than two hours of songs. Ann Powers praised the album's diversity, saying, "Newsom uses the songwriter's default mode to explore how traditional love, for women, can be both the beginning and the end of possibility: a way to escape home and be excluded from it; to embrace children or be burdened by fertility; or betrayed by fertility. Throughout 2010, she toured Europe and North America to market the album, which was supported by a five-piece band, as well as a guest composer on the album How I Got Over by the Roots, which was released in June of this year. Matt Groening had her also selected her to appear at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival in Minehead, England, in May 2010. A commemoration album of Newsom covers was released as a digital download in December 2010. M. Ward, Billy Bragg, Francesco Santocono, Guy Buttery, and Owen Pallett are among the artists involved, with all proceeds going to Oxfam America's Pakistan Flood Relief Fundorts.

"What We Have Known," Newsom's second single, "What We Have Known," was released on 12" vinyl on July 19, 2011. The single was originally the b-side to her first album, "Sprout and the Bean." She filmed her second music video (for the album "Good Intentions Paving Company") with filmmakers Karni & Saul in June 2011. Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel was selected by Newsom to attend the All Tomorrow's Parties festival, which he curated in Minehead, England, in March 2012. Newsom appeared on "The Muppet Show Theme" for the Muppets in late 2011, and was on the front page of the 10th anniversary issue of Under the Radar with Robin Pecknold.

Newsom debuted in 2012 with television appearances on Austin City Limits (January 21) and Portlandia (February 7).

She appeared at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco on June 25, 2012, alongside Philip Glass and Tim Fain as part of a benefit for the Henry Miller Memorial Library. At the concert tentatively titled The Diver's Wife, a love tale about pearl hunting that would eventually become the title track on her new album, Divers, she performed a new song. On October 14, she performed another new song tentatively titled "Look and Despair" at the Treasure Island Festival, which was renamed "Sapokanikan" and announced as Divers' lead single.

On Thao's album We the Common, Newsom appeared on a track titled "Kindness be Conceived" on Thao and the Get Down Stay Down's album We the Common, which was released in February 2013. Newsom appeared on the album "The Man Who Ran the Town" in March 2013. Why Do Birds Suddenly Appear by British skinhead band Hard Skin is a film that was released in March 2013.

In the 2014 film Inherent Vice, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, she appeared in and narrated it. In the film "gorgeously rendered," Peter Travers of Rolling Stone called Newsom's narration "gorgeously rendered." "Ras Trent" and "We Are a Crowd" were two additional vocals for Lonely Island's songs in 2015.

Divers' fourth solo album, which was released on October 23, 2015, was her fourth solo record. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard Alternative Albums chart and outsold her 2006 album,Ys.

On December 8, 2015, she performed "Leaving the City" from the album's The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Charli XCX and Phoebe Bridgers appear in "Conversations With Friends" on the Soundtrack

www.popsugar.co.uk, May 17, 2022
The new Hulu special based on Sally Rooney's book of the same name "Conversations With Friends" was released on Sunday, May 15. Jemima Kirke, Joe Alwyn, Alison Oliver, and Sasha Lane all star in the series as four friends struggle with love, marriage, and complex attachments to each other. The soundtrack also favors songs about knotty, tangled romances as the show has plenty of complicated emotions. The performance, which takes place in Rooney's native Ireland as well as in Hvar, an island off the coast of Croatia, is full of idyllic landscapes and romantic vistas, and its mixture of dreamy, ethereal, and sultry music sets the tone. In comparison to alternative superstars like Joanna Newsom and pop sensations like The Weeknd to round things out, there are slew of indie newcomers on the soundtrack. Phoebe Bridgers, who played Paul Mescal on "Normal People," is also based on the Sally Rooney book of the same name. Despite Alwyn's appearance on the program, the soundtrack contains no Taylor Swift originals (though the singer has expressed her support for Alwyn and the book itself).
