Congrats to who just put out a beautiful new record ‘Who’s Keeping Time?’ this week, and will be playing a special full band set Sat Sept 19th in the beautiful, intimate back room at (tix onsale now)
Fans of Fairport/Sandy Denny or Michael Hurley (who she dedicates this new record to) will find her understated, broken-in approach to Americana a perfect continuation of a thread that’s been woven since the mid-60s, from her Grass Valley California hometown through the indie-rock weirdos of her current base of Portland Oregon, and on to the backwoods of the Catskills. On the new record:
Who’s Keeping Time? is featured on today’s episode of NPR Music’s New Music Friday with Ann Powers praising, “Her art is just of the highest quality...it considers the fragility and the beauty of life, the shifting sands of identity and the importance of being where you are.” Americana Highways calls it “a triumph of restraint, craft, and emotional clarity,” saying, “Diane delivers songs that already feel like future classics,” and Glide Magazine adds, “Every time she releases a record, it feels like a gift, something tangible you can hold in your hands whenever you need a reminder that powerful music comes from actual humans playing real instruments.” Across the pond, MOJO describes the new music as “lovely…haunting…clear and strong…beautiful,” with UNCUT declaring, “It’s plausibly Diane’s best since 2013’s tremendous About Farewell.”
