Divers

by Joanna Newsom

Divers cover art

On 'Divers', Joanna Newsom's signature harp and intricate vocal delivery are set against meticulously layered arrangements that incorporate orchestral passages, clavichords, and Mellotrons. Co-produced by Newsom and Noah Georgeson and partly engineered by Steve Albini, the album's complex lyrical narratives confront themes of love, mortality, and history within a notably more compact and accessible song structure than her prior work.
