Holocene Music is honored to present the debut release from stunningly talented
singer and songwriter Alela Diane. Hailing from the deep woods and winding
rivers of Northern California Gold Rush town Nevada City, Alela grew up singing
songs with her parents (both musicians), and performing in the school choir. In
2003 she began teaching herself guitar and writing her first songs, blending
tense, trance-like arpeggios, with warm, thick vocals and meditative lyrics
about family and nature. These soon caught the attention of friend and fellow
Nevada City native Joanna Newsom, who in turn persuaded Alela to play her first
live show. The songs on The PirateÆs Gospel were written during a trip to Europe
and recorded in her fatherÆs studio in Nevada City. Originally available only in
hand-stitched limited runs, this pressing marks the first time The PirateÆs
Gospel has been made available to stores.
