alela diane, never heard of her until today, but so far me likes what me hears. the first single from her sophmore record, to be still, is a lovely little folkish type song ala joanna newsom and the like, and i can only hope the rest of the record is much of the same. good stuff…. the nevada city native’s to be still is being released via rough trade on 2.17 and is embarking on a tour with blitzen trapper.
