Portland singer Alela Diane is 3 albums in and finds herself alone after the break-up of her marriage. The crumbling relationship tore at her insides and what made it outside is dramatised on her devastating new album ‘About Farewell’. The heartbreak suits Diane’s country leanings but this ain’t no song for mournful cowboys. You’ll feel Cat Power, and Lisa Hannigan, but with a pinch more balance, if that’s what you could call a song that is constructed from what sounds like a couple of different compositions. All told ‘The Way We Fall’ is close to perfection, a throwback to another time of fuller artforms and radiant voices. KD
