Alela Diane – Ether & Wood (All Points Music)
Alela Diana - Ether & Wood |
Release Date: Out Now
Alela Diane is a singer-songwriter
from Portland that I’m coming to late but it’s better to be late than to never arrive,
right? ‘Ether & Wood’ is a piano fuelled ballad full of loneliness and
peace that speaks of a house in the middle of nowhere on a day with no breeze.
As the song builds to include a steady beat and gentle guitar notes, we are
treated to a thing of beauty in the Thea Gilmore or Indigo Girls spectrum of
music and that’s a place I do so love to visit. Diane’s voice is pure, honest
and rich in tone which arrests the listener and, if I’m honest, brings a tear
to the eye. This is the kind of song that could bring a rowdy bar to heel and,
by the end, if you haven’t reached inside of yourself to find some long-buried emotion
then you might be dead on the inside. Simple, brilliant and utterly, utterly
beautiful.
