Alela Diane - To Be Still

Psych-folk singer/songwriter Alela Diane will be releasing a new studio album titled To Be Still through Rough Trade on February 17.

"I wanted to record this collection of songs using arrangements which would represent them in their finest form. These songs requested more instrumental filigree than those on The Pirate's Gospel. It was challenging to delicately yet purposefully incorporate instrumentation into songs that I was so used to singing by myself. I was determined to make it work, because I wanted percussion! I wanted to hear the lonesome bow of the violin! I heard many harmonies in my head, and so I set out to capture them." - a quote by Diane cited from Rough Trade.
