After a seven-year hiatus, Boneset is the seventh album from modern folk artist Diane Cluck. Cluck's uniquely clipped, glottal vocals and harp-like acoustic guitar embed in rich textures from cellist Isabel Castellvi and drummer Anders Griffen. Recorded to analog tape at Brooklyn's Trout Recording, Boneset is comprised of songs written years ago, not so long ago, just recently, laid out in near-chronological order. Dark to light to dark, the album overends as a kind of Mobius strip, songs seeded with birds, death, wealth, poverty, boldness and heart. "Diane Cluck is a virtuosic talent with an emotionality that feels at once ancient and alien. Her mastery of her voice as an ecstatic instrument is so compelling." --Antony Hegarty (Antony and the Johnsons); "Cluck's sparse compositions seem to float defiantly from some fortress the conscious self had long left behind." --The Providence Phoenix
