Back in July, Alela Diane released her latest album, Who’s Keeping Time? In his album review, Mark Underwood concludes:
For all its preoccupation with what slips away — faces misremembered, friends taken too early, the houses we once lived in — Who’s Keeping Time? is markedly less solitary than anything Diane has made since To Be Still. Hurley’s death sent her back into the room with other musicians, and the attic recordings have the warmth of an ensemble that can feel where the next phrase is going before it gets there. The album doesn’t argue against loss; it gathers people around it. “Everything in perpetual motion,” Alela says. “We’re all just passing through.”
In her run of live video sessions titled “Attic Live Sessions”, she has shared two further takes from the album, including In My Own Time, described in our review as a “gentle meditation on how the distractions of the modern world can easily prove a thief to precious time, and the need to live more properly inside the moment.”
