JOANNA NEWSOM (Brighton Dome, 01/11/15)



After being left curiously unmoved by Sufjan's sad-jams earlier this year, it was left to popular harp-caressing songstress J-New to successfully elicit emotion from my black and joyless heart. The new material happily lived up to expectations (even if there was perhaps one too many mid-tempo piano ballads), it was nice to be reminded that "Have One On Me", despite its 500 hour running time, actually has some stunning moments, and of course the classics remain some of the most sublime works of music these ears have ever heard.
