Alela Diane is a member of the cool folk scene going on in Portland, Oregon lately. She's opened for the Decemberists and is opening for Blitzen Trapper right now, and for good reason - she has a very chilling voice and some very interesting melodies. Like a lot of music in that scene, her stuff is ALMOST typical folk but there's something off about it, which I find really interesting. It doesn't bother me that she doesn't sing with anyone else, and that's saying something about how powerful her sound is.
4/5.
