I included Ys in a feature I did for my blog; 4 Great Albums for Winter. Check it . It was very hard to write about Ys as a review rather than gushing analysis as I'm used to, but I hope you guys enjoy it. I tried hard to do the album justice.
The other albums in the series are by Spiritualized, Beach House and The Antlers if you're interested, and are linked from the bottom of the Ys review.
Yeah, I thought it was interesting to read! Like reading about Joanna's relationship with her sister where you refer to various lines of Emily, explaining what those words might mean
Cheers guys. I'd like to write more analytically about Ys because I have pretty strong interpretations of the meanings of those 5 songs that I'd like to share and discuss, but my electronic music blog isn't really the place for that, and I'm not capable of reeling off a Jordan-style essay. What I might do, if it interests anyone, is make a little annotated guide to the narrative of each track and the meaning of the lines because I think it's easy to get lost, alongside references and tropes of note. Like a sort of annotated lyric booklet explaining the meanings of the songs, at least in my book. I'd say for the 5 songs of Ys, at least, I have them kind of cracked.
Good review! I wrote about Emily for my extended essay in 5th year. I remember her saying in an interview that she wrote the song after Emily had left home to be an astrophysicist. I don't think I still have the essay, unfortunately. I'd probably want to rewrite it, anyway, to draw parallels to the Fisher King myth that I hadn't discovered at the time - there's a really interesting reversal of the usual paradigm, where the Fisher King's absence or wounding turns his kingdom barren and lifeless; in Emily, Emily's absence results in a catastrophic over-fertility, with nature breaking its constraints and swallowing up the carefully delineated reality Newsom's family has built around her. I focused more on the analogy between the ephemerality of Joanna's time with her sister - those precious moments she describes that last only moments - and the ephemerality of human existence (encapsulated at the end of the song) and the ephemerality of a meteorite, that's only visible and beautiful because it's burning down to nothing.
Rambling! Maybe I should write another essay about it when I've in the right mood. And if you posted your notes, Tom, I'm sure I could plunder them for inspiration. I'd like to read what you've got about Only Skin, too; I didn't see the mistress thing.
