2006, Hush Records
Even those who think they've heard it all haven't heard anything like Casey Dienel. Wind-Up Canary is literally her first-ever recording, and it finds her matching prodigious musical talent with a lyrical point-of-view that's wild, odd and sharp as brass tacks. A thousand quirky songwriters couldn't imitate her style if they tried. Wind-Up Canary is the result of an invitation to record for free at an abandoned caretaker's house on a farm in Massachusetts. With some friends and a piano borrowed from the lobby of a local hotel, these songs were recorded in the dead of winter 2004. Dienel finished the songs and put them away, figuring that was that. It wasn't until a friend of a friend sent a copy to Hush that any plans were made to release Canary to the world at large!
