Dustspell Hadestown it's an amazing album!...I could say that could be named as the Pink Floyd's The Wall of Indie-Folk
-
casablanca Listen together with others to new indie folk and indie pop artists and tunes in the "New Indie Folk" Soundrop room on Spotify - http://open.soundrop.fm/s/W2Pf1ShxheWGD8th
-
maesco i'd buy that too.
-
nickchapman83 Does anyone know of any plans to release Young Man in America on LP?
-
Quozza The only reason I can see that Anais hasn't been a huge success commercially is the overtly political edge to her lyrics. Voice to die for... the "real deal" so far as authenticity and creativity are concerned (take your fake Del Rey and shove it!). Hadestown is an extaordinary and exceptional album... She'll have her day. Her own version of "Why We Build" on Youtube is genius... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TUfxx2JrqY - but then so is "Wedding Song" "Young man..." and "Shenandoah" (...OK rant over - I'll go back to listening the Hip Hop, Jazz and Soul) ...
-
Kelvindv Hadestown is great.
-
superfly299 She's an amazing songwriter but I don't really care for her vocals. They remind me of Duffy who I can't stand. She falls in that category of artists for me where I can appreciate her music but I don't truly love it for one aspect or another.
-
xJake_Guitarx "Young Man In America" Is absolutely flawless! Her music so unique and beautiful, I just can't get enough, Such a beautiful voice.
-
ukrayf her voice takes getting used to? are we still saying this about people? man, almost every major singer/songwriter of the last 50 years has an unconventional voice. what on earth is a conventional voice anyway? do any of the people that complain about voices actually listen to much music?
-
blutos hahahah sure she has a distinctive voice, but it's hardly Victoria Williams!
-
Morthill Her voice takes a bit getting used to, but the lyrics and music make that totally worth it. Really enjoying Young Man in America now.
-
god_of_monkeys I heard she had a new album and thought it would be hard to follow Hadestown, but she nailed. The new record is pretty great.
-
sarahlloyd83 Damn it, tour promoters, get a map of Britain, notice that big thing in the middle called Birmingham and book some bloody Midlands gigs!
-
elliesaysmeow Happy birthday Anaïs!
-
jmanzo2009 Young Man In America is tied right now with Bloom for AOTY for me. We'll see how the new Knife album shakes things up.
-
marybeth-damico Her own album doesn't have the dot over the i in Anais anymore...more confusion.
-
marybeth-damico
This is the most interesting album I've heard in quite a while.
-
onegumas For me "Hadestown" is better.

HedonisticMe Young Man in America... holy shit. Blow in like a hurricane, everyone will know my name.
-
unrealitiesxi Becoming one of my all time favourite artists...
-
BERSERKERpoetry Totally disagree as well. It's her most personal, human, alive and scintillating album since "Hymns For the Exiled". I didn't even care for "Hadestown". I want her voice and her emotions. A group effort that sounds more like a stage musical than a folk recording has very little to do with that. This is a great direction she's heading in with "Young Man in America".
-
WelshLewy I couldn't disagree more with that review
-
Drwillynickle
Do you guys agree with this review of the new album? http://www.crackintheroad.com/music/14871-review-anais-mitchell-young-man-in-america/

-

Mullington Dyin' Day-a super track.
-
AvesOrph I checked out "Hymns for the Exiled" after Hadestown... and it blew me away even more than hadestown did.
-
Gofgij What should I check out next after Hadestown?

Hadestown and Hymns For The Exiled = 10/10 albums
-
Bagrawr luke_suspicious << Indeed. Especially The Brigtness, so good.
-
luke_suspicious People who enjoyed Hadestown should urgently check the rest of her catalogue, she has released brilliant albums with no fillers or weak tracks. Such a promisingly talented young soul.
-
Ilmakko I have to admit too that Hadestown is really amazing, unfortunately Itunes won`t accept the orginal order of the songs and it is almost like listening the album with shuffle on.
-

pulloverpanda Old school or new school....love this classy lady's tunes. New album time? I think yes.
