Black With Green Leaves/Macys Day Bird

This deluxe double cd, priced the same as a single disc, pairs up Diane Cluck's 2nd full length album Macy's Day Bird with the ep titled Black With Green Leaves.

Both were originally was released by Diane in an elaborate tiny handmade edtions. These are arguably Diane's most compelling, immediate and striking records and it was these two recordings that originally caught the ear of Important Records in 2001. Macy's Day Bird/Black With Green Leaves is highly recommended to Diane's many new fans who picked up on her after the release of Oh Vanille/Ova Nil in early 2005. The attentive listener will find her hauntingly clear voice weaving melodies of love, pain and city life through sparse arrangements of piano, acoustic guitar and harmonium. This material is newly restored/mastered by James Fei. Oh Vanille/Ova Nil was recently given the status of No. 2 US Underground album of 2005 by the UK's esteemed Mojo Magazine.
