Ys

Joanna's Drag City debut, The Milk-Eyed Mender, captured the hearts of fans and critics with its lilting harp and vocal majesty.

On Ys, Joanna has recorded five songs clocking in at fifty-five minutes. The album was co-produced by the legendary Van Dyke Parks with the vocals and harp recorded with Steve Albini and mixed with Jim O'Rourke.

On Ys, you will hear a dream collaboration between Joanna's voice, her harp, and a full orchestra. The album is a ride that ebbs and flows in a scrumptious cacophony of layers and drama.

The wide-screened beauty of Ys is due to, among other things, the all-analog production mixed to tape and mastered at Abbey Road. Ys is a stunning album in scope, breadth, and imagination. It takes courage and vision to produce music as startlingly original and true as this.
