My Brightest Diamond (Live)

Two years after the world formally met her via her acclaimed debut, Bring Me the Workhorse, Brooklyn, NY’s My Brightest Diamond – spearheaded by Shara Worden – has been established as one of independent music’s most vibrant, creative and original voices.  And with A Thousand Shark’s Teeth, Diamond’s incredible, breathtaking sophomore release, we are all instantly reminded once more of Shara Worden’s undeniable greatness.  

Charming, playful, daring, foreboding, graceful, eclectic, exciting and visceral:  these are all the first words that come to mind after a full listen through A Thousand Shark’s Teeth.  It is a record that evokes and challenges, full of the sorts of melodies and arrangements that stay with you long after the album’s stopped playing.  Combining songs that were written both before and after the release of Bring Me the Workhorse, and produced and arranged by Shara herself, A Thousand Shark’s Teeth reflects different times, feelings, musical genres and facets of one’s personality, all perfectly sewn together by the powerful thread that is Shara’s dynamic voice.
