White Hinterland is Casey Dienel, an American singer/songwriter and pianist based in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. She released her debut album, Wind-Up Canary, in 2006 on Hush Records. Dienel presently performs and records as White Hinterland, whose first album, titled Phylactery Factory is on the independent record label Dead Oceans. On this CD, there are songs of war-"Lindbergh's + Metal Birds", "Napoleon at Waterloo",-songs that sing of war's tragedy and of our casual modern society apathy. There are songs of peace: "Dreaming of the Plum Trees" is love and the wagging tongues of gossip.
