Peach or Plum, either way Newsom's tune is the apple of BEA's eye

Newsom 16-6

The Willard Grant Conspiracy song made me think of a lesser Handsome Family too. Then it made me think of this...

Sorry, Newsom's voice, especially also on this track, is unbearable to my ears and while the HGC track is not really a great song it gets my vote easily.

My vote goes to Joanna pretty easily. Not on the same level as later work, but still sounds pretty unique.

But actually I voted for it because I actually liked it, but I totally agree. I often struggle to listen to an album of hers and not just because it's "challenging".

Heh they're definitely in the same genre, in fact I think I've read somewhere that the guy from Handsome Family and Robert Fisher of WGC were friends. Or I might have just made that up. I thought about nominating Far From Any Road too, but it seemed like a populist choice and it's not my favourite Handsome Family song so that never happened

Peach Plum Pear isn't my favorite song from the Milk Eyed Mender, but it is my favorite vocal performance. River in the Pines gets points for taking place in Wisconsin but I didn't like it nearly as much as Newsom's song.

I quite liked the Willard song but it seems like quite a lot of that gothic Americana kind of stuff on a first listen. Peach, Pear, Plum is a strange one but it's certainly interesting and I prefer it of the two.

Joanna: cool song but positively intolerable vocals.

WGC easily here.

It's a great Joanna Newsom song, I'm not gonna blame anyone for voting for it, but the emotions on almost every Willard track are what made me love the band. This is a fantastic cover and maybe their most popular song. Go listen to Regard The End and Let It Roll, very underrated releases.
