Anyone got / getting this EP? I've had it on order for a while and it arrived today. I haven't stopped listening to it all day even though it's only three songs (though weighing in at 24 minutes that doesn't mean much!).
Two of the songs are reworkings (Clam, Crab, Cockle, Cowrie and Cosmia) and there's a new one (Colleen). They've all been recorded with the band Joanna uses on tour, so the songs all sound a little fuller than the album versions, at least to my ears. Cosmia in particular is much longer than it is on Ys. Her voice continues to improve too -- almost unrecognisable from The Milk-Eyed Mender.
Colleen's rapidly becoming one of my favourite songs of hers. A year ago, I would never have imagined raving about a folk musician. But I find her music enchanting, and never tire of listening to it.
