Joanna Newsom accidentally tours western US after missing that left turn at Albuquerque

On a mission to prove that she’s just as “chillwave” in 2010 as she was “freak-folk” back in 2005, heady harpstress Joanna Newsom is packing up her best guess at a sexy bathing suit and Victorian Era hope chest full of SPF 8,000,000 sunblock and making tracks for the beach this summer.

Newsom will tour the West Coast of the United States on the heels of her recent, blissed-out, hypnogogic, glo-fi, hype-dub, cock-balls masterpiece, Astro Coast… oh wait, I mean, Have One On Me (TMT Review)?? Uh oh. Say, I think someone got their wires crossed down at the Too Cool For School Booking Agency. But hey, nothing speaks to the laid-back, transient nature of an all-American fun-in-the-sun beach party like a triple album full of modal folk song-suites, right?
