It isn't too often that I feel
the need to go ahead and immediately post something up for you guys, but
that's how I felt last night when I got an email with the first song off of
A Thousand Shark's Teeth. For those of you that don't know,
that is the upcoming sophomore effort from My Brightest Diamond (aka Shara
Worden). I thought her debut was an amazing listen, and of the
numerous times that I've seen her perform live there has never been a moment
that hasn't knocked me on my ass. In other words, I'm excited.
The new full length, which was produced by Shara herself, won't be out on
Asthmatic Kitty until June 17, so I'll certainly have the gem below on
repeat for the next two months. Feel free to join me. Enjoy.

Brightest Diamond - Inside A Boy:
It might just end up being me, but I'm really happy to hear
that Shara didn't try to change a whole lot. Her voice
is still hauntingly beautiful to the point where every word
that comes out sounds stunning, and the music is that
familiar mix of heavier moments nicely blended with pretty
details. Sure, I guess you could say that she has
gotten better at each of those elements, but at the end of
the day they aren't wildly different. I'm OK with
that.
Most of you
have probably heard every song from Bring Me The
Workhorse a zillion times at this point, but here is a
remix of Magic Rabbit by Alfred Brown that you might
of missed. It's a pretty interesting listen, and the
video that it's set to is quite beautiful. Good stuff.
