If you’re like me, you’ve been jonesin’ for some serious orchestral pop along the lines of Joanna Newsom’s Ys, an album that’s as perfect as it peerless. In the vast gap left in Ms. Newsom’s stead walks Inara George hand in hand with Van Dyke Parks, Newsom’s orchestral arranger for Ys. On the table in front of you they place An Invitation, their collaborative album of percussion-less, orchestral-led brilliance. Let it charm you, lull you, and leave you wanting more.
