At first it can sound almost homemade to a fault: harp strings creaking, melodies wandering, Newsom’s voice refusing to smooth itself out for anybody. Then the writing starts to reveal itself — surreal, funny, old-world and deeply personal all at once. "Sadie" and "Clam, Crab, Cockle, Cowrie" are startlingly beautiful. Few debut albums introduce such a completely self-contained artistic language.
