If you’re like me, you feel like it has been too long since we’ve heard from Portland folk goddess Alela Diane. In the follow-up to her 2013 record About Farewell, Diane teams up with guitarist Ryan Francesconi and makes a delicious combination of intricate instrumentals and her timeless voice. In their first cut “Shapeless,” the pair work through various movements – from mournful to powerful – for a beautiful track.
Their collaborative album Cool Moon will be released October 16th.
