Pitchfork's weeklong countdown of our favorite tracks of the 1960s concludes with the presentation of the last 20 songs, the greatest of the decade.
We spoke to the singer-songwriter behind one of the year's best records-- the exquisite, brave Ys-- about why its songs are so long, how Van Dyke Parks and an orchestra became involved, and how she handles replicating the complex music live.
