Nevada City native Alela Diane’s touring-turned-backing band — the Wild Divine — includes both her husband and her father, but there’s nothing quaint about this family affair. Diane’s brand of pastoral psych-folk is at times gritty and dark, at times soulful and lovely. Often, it’s simply haunting and unsettling. Employing stream-of-consciousness lyricism with her distinctive vocals, Diane produces authentic, slightly spooky, often effectively sparse Americana. Diane and the Wild Divine are joined by husband-and-wife-fronted folk act The Parson Red Heads.
