Songwriter Alela Diane is a native of Nevada, USA.
It combines a kind of so-called "Freak Folk" with some country roots and a very peculiar voice.
The Pirate's Gospel album released last year by the independent label Holocene was one of the jewels of the year acoustic.
His melancholy lyrics speak about his life.
To Alela, singing is as natural as breathing, and therefore does not need too many decorations, with his warm voice and a brief accompanying acoustic guitar or banjo is enough.
Without any pretension, just for the simple pleasure of making music, folk Alela Diane prepares a craft in which there are plenty of references to bluegrass and gospel and if it is particularly attractive is its simplicity and beauty.

Despite the nearly ten thousand miles between Nevada City (the city where he was born and has lived most of his life Alela Diane) of Cartagena, the songs of this performer and composer of twenty-five years contain elements common to both parts of the world.
Families are broken, laws of life are met, questions that are answered in the wind.
Haunting songs played on the uprooting guitar, banjo and mandolin, as close to folk that this free-folk could definírsele as craft.
These are good times for the idyllic world that takes us Alela Diane.
At stages traversed by a flowing river, surrounded by pine trees whose deepest parts Alela Diane says on his myspace it looks like his music.
It also defines as influences to their parents singing in the kitchen, Kate Wolf and Patsy Kline.
He has also told how he wrote his first songs in 2003, when the first changes to your life, when he left Nevada City to go to school in San Francisco and as unexpectedly, his parents separated and sold the family home.
Uprooted and broken heart, as she describes it, he composed his first album, Forest Parade.
His father helped him in his home studio to record it and distributed it to friends and family.
And he traveled to Europe, a change of scenery.
The Pirate's Gospel was written while visiting London, Paris and southern France.
Upon his return he moved to Portland, Oregon with the intention to continue giving every concert I could.
The Pirate's Gospel, his second self-produced album, went on to make six hundred and fifty copies on cd-r which he sold at concerts.
Three years after record company had a remastered copy and a career supported, for example, by the magazine Les Inrockuptibles anything suspicious that ranked among the top ten albums of 2007.
In 2006 the English label, Names Records, made a limited edition vinyl Whistler Songs Through White Teeth.
Alela Diane has decorated his car with his catcher and his collection of condor feathers, now that your things are waiting stuffed into boxes.
And while preparing a new album, to be published this year, that starts to get used to his new life.
And you're glad to see the world.
