DIANA DARBY - OTTERSON DIANA DARBY

Diana began work on her latest album, Otterson, during the COVID shutdown. “I was locked away like pretty much everyone else on the planet. And it was that isolation that let me go deeper into myself, and then these songs started coming. At the time, I didn’t understand what they were all about, but a unifying theme emerged – loss. Loss of a relationship, an animal, self, faith, and a shedding of emotions I had carried around for years.”

‘We Are Free bolts insurrectionary spirit to the sound of The Velvet Underground’s third LP. In ugly times, Otterson also offers solace, the ghostly Laura Nyro of And What Goes On. Take Heart’ - 4/5 MOJO

‘The single ‘Say Goodbye’ and spellbinding Dear Jane are profoundly moving and engaging in their intimate raw-nerved fragility. Remarkable album….’ - 4/5 RECORD COLLECTOR
