About the artist
"Alela Diane Menig sings stark, ghostly folk. And while her chords and picking may be beginner's stuff, she's already flaunting a large, lived-in growl flavored by antediluvian blues and jazz inflections. Far less girly than kindred spirit Joanna Newsom, and no less commanding, this Portland based siren shares with her pal a primitivism shaped by backward glances and backwoods living. Warning of nightmarish rural invaders in "The Rifle" and vowing to keep her eyes open on the showstopping sea chantey title track, Diane seems destined for grander endeavors." —Barry Walters, SPIN
