This deluxe double CD, priced the same as a single disc, pairs
up Diane Cluck's 2nd full length album Macy's Day Bird with
the EP titled Black With Green Leaves. Both were originally
released by Diane in elaborate tiny handmade edtions. These
are arguably Diane's most compelling, immediate and striking
records and it was these two recordings that originally caught
the ear of Important Records in 2001.
Macy's Day Bird/Black With Green Leaves is highly recommended
to Diane's many new fans who picked up on her after the
release of Oh Vanille/Ova Nil in early 2005. The attentive
listener will find her hauntingly clear voice weaving melodies
of love, pain and city life through sparse arrangements of
piano, acoustic guitar and harmonium. This material is newly
restored/mastered by James Fei.
Oh Vanille/Ova Nil was recently given the status of No. 2 US
Underground album of 2005 by the UK's esteemed Mojo Magazine.
"I made these albums a few years ago for myself and friends
about myself and friends. To me they're total fidelity
recordings -- true documents of how I felt / what I
experienced in a particular time and place. There have been
suggestions that I rerecord to make the songs sound some
version of more appealing...but I'd rather keep flowing /
playing in the moment things come out right the first time
even if they are hard to look at / hear in that form those
tend to be the forms which teach me the most about myself /
the world...don't apologize for yrself ! be a mess...be
whatever...these songs were important for me to make & record
if they're useful / helpful to other people I'm glad about
that !" - Diane Cluck
