Description
The more influences My Brightest Diamonds Shara Worden absorbs from the world around her, the less she sounds like anybody else.
The lullaby Dreaming Awake was originally performed as a duet with circular-breathing sax titan Colin Stetson. It opens this mini album in a tense, minimal Son Lux Mix but Luxs raw electronic treatment only draws more attention to Wordens achingly tender vocal performance.
Dreams Dont Look Like originated as silent movie music, an extract from Wordens score for The Balloonatic by Buster Keaton.
That Point When, a song Worden initially arranged to sing with The Orchestra For The Next Century, defies gravity too: musically and lyrically ambiguous, majestically lighter than air.
In the Autumn of 2014, Asthmatic Kitty Records will release My Brightest Diamonds fourth fulllength, This Is My Hand.
Combining brainy indie-pop with touches of artrock and classical music, Wordens work and her first single in particular radiates brilliance to match her considerable ambition. NPR
