Album Notes & Community Reviews

New York anti-folk staple Diane Cluck self-recorded the intensely intimate 'Monarcana' entirely at her home. The deeply poetic, lo-fi album focuses strictly on her intricate acoustic fingerpicking and distinctly eccentric, polyphonic vocal melodies, creating a highly abstract and mysterious avant-folk atmosphere.
