Pitchfork

Pop Montreal is officially in full swing, as the festival overtakes more than 30 of the city's downtown venues. But for all the buzz surrounding this weekend's upcoming sets from Roky Erickson, Dr. Octagon, Sunset Rubdown, Tapes n' Tapes, Islands, Beirut, Gary Wilson, Cadence Weapon, Tim Hecker, Flosstradamus and Kid Sister, and Pitchfork faves Beach House, the festival's most anticipated performance came last night, as Joanna Newsom took to the stage of a downtown church for a set consisting largely of material from her stunning forthcoming album, Ys.

In attendance were old friends David Byrne and The Arcade Fire, plus (of course) your pals at Pitchfork who managed to snap the following shots... for the internet!
