53. Occident, Part 1

A Hopeless Endeavor: A Joanna Newsom Podcast

The first episode on the last song on the second record of HOOM. Bonkers. We talk about small talk, about battering elements baiting kin, and a lot about death. As always, our profound gratitude goes out to Blessing All the Birds writers, Melissa Marturano and Rachel Parent. Here is a link to their super insightful post comparing Occident to Divers: https://allthebirds.tumblr.com/post/643379032632721408/occident-and-divers Thank you all so much for listening, and thank you to David Pizarro for the audio processing and for the sick beats.
