The title of Joanna Newsom's new EP isn't Every Word in the Title of These Songs Starts With "C", though it would be about as good as the actual title, Joanna Newsom and the Ys Street Band.

Plus, it's true, since the EP leads off with new song "Colleen" before segueing into new versions of "Clam, Crab, Cockle, Cowrie" and "Cosmia".

Drag City will release the full-band EP on April 24 in the U.S., and Newsom has two weeks of European tour dates next month as well. She has also shown a great deal of consideration to British fans by scheduling a September appearance in London six and a half months in advance.

Thanks to reader Matt Takaichi for the tip!
