Diane Cluck is a New York-based singer-songwriter affiliated with the Anti-folk scene centred around open mic nights at the Sidewalk Cafe. She has recorded five albums since 2001. Her music is more sophisticated than many artists' of the genre, played using acoustic guitar, piano, organ and xylophone. Her influences are specific: Kate Bush, Chopin (when she used to play classical) and early twentieth century composer Erik Satie. She appreciates his very beautiful minimalist piano stuff, works that he is most famous for and are among her favorites. She is lately occupied in creating "skeletons," of songs, songs that are actually capable of standing up and walking around with as little adornment as possible. Her current body of work she considers very wordy: lots of words and too many notes. .
Her song 'Monte Carlo' appeared on the Rough Trade compilation 'Anti Folk Volume 1' in 2001 alongside other luminaries of the scene. She has collaborated with both Jeffrey Lewis and Herman Düne in the past.
But these are just facts. They tell you everything and nothing. Best ask Diane yourself.
The charming, beguiling and hugely entertaining honey-voiced angel of British anti-folk, Emmy The Great supports.
