Joanna Newsom has been rather odd in her press for
Have One On Me, releasing cartoons as hints and telling the world it will be a triple LP (whoa). First song "81" was a nice teaser, quaint and cushy, and now we've got "Good Intentions Paving Company", a bit more uptempo, bossanova and as Stereogum aptly put it "kind of Peanuts". For those of us who haven't really dipped into the pool of Newsom tunes, this is a big sign that
Have One will be a diverse collection of tracks instead of one big long harp solo. For the fans, this only solidifies their excitement. Listen after the jump.
