Alela Diane - White As Diamonds

This is from Alela’s forthcoming album, To Be Still, out February on Rough Trade/Fargo/Names.  The album as a whole and this song in particular are truly and deeply beautiful.  I still remember Alela playing this one two years ago at SXSW, including this Daytrotter take, and it remains one of my favorite songs she’s done.  Grab the mp3 here or here.  She’s playing right after Christmas in Nevada City, opening for her dad’s Grateful Dead cover band, and I so hope I can make it.
