A Pandemic-Era Recording Finds Respite in Introspection

LATEST RELEASE


Looking Glass — Released Fall 2022


Out of a period of tumult, change, and unpredictability came Alela Diane’s latest release: Looking Glass. Diane was born in Nevada City, California – to parents who are also musicians – but joined Cannopy Magazine from the patio of her home in Portland, Oregon. Met with much critical acclaim, her previous album, Cusp, was a delicate weave and intimate testament to the volatile edges of motherhood and childbirth. Looking Glass returns to the woman behind the mother with the same intimacy but coloured now with an urgent introspection imparted by pandemic-related woes. 



Speaking with Cannopy Magazine, the usually soft-spoken singer-songwriter is vivid in her reflection upon the headspaces she explored in her journey through Looking Glass. She also discusses how the evolution of her sound has come a long way since the high-and-lonesome acoustics of her seminal To Be Still; and the very appropriate anger and confusion at the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
