Alela Diane made a video collage for "Wide Open Spaces" with VHS footage of a family trip to Lake Powell in 1986. The song was written for her brother, so it seems fitting to use these distant memories, which includes footage of her parents and three grandparents shredding on water skis, as well as she and her brother as children.

Today is the day! We have been huge fans of Alela Diane for ages, and it gives us great pleasure to be able to partner with her on the release of her 7th album, Who's Keeping Time? .

"Her art is just of the highest quality...it considers the fragility and the beauty of life, the shifting sands of identity and the importance of being where you are." - NPR / NPR Music

The record is deeply personal, born of both grief and community, and features Alela in top form with a band that effortlessly brings these songs to life. The intuitive connection between Alela and these musicians elevates the songs to transport the listener to a near transcendental state as the album winds through it's 11 tracks. This is a record that you will keep coming back to again and again.

Listen to Who's Keeping Time? today, wherever you stream music, purchase it on LP or CD at your favorite independent record store, or grab it from the good folks at Bandcamp.

"At some point over the more than 20 years that she has been performing and recording, Alela Diane quietly became an American treasure. Every time she releases a record, it feels like a gift, something tangible you can hold in your hands whenever you need a reminder that powerful music comes from actual humans playing real instruments. With the release of her new record, Who’s Keeping Time?, that gift is more poignant than ever."

Thanks to Glide Magazine for the kind words. Alela Diane's new LP drops TOMORROW!!!!
