< My Brightest Diamond
A Thousand Shark's Teeth
words by Laura Hughes
In the wake of 2006’s phenomenal ‘Bring Me the Workhorse’, My Brightest Diamond’s second full-length offering is an exercise in delicate heartbreak. The brainchild of New York vocalist Shara Worden, ‘A Thousand Shark’s Teeth’ is the sound of Tori Amos having tea with Joan As Police Woman, with a generous helping of Lavender Diamond. As a former member of Sufjan Stevens’ backing band, Worden has perfected the art of fragile melodies and it can only be a matter of time before she’s as well-loved as the Illinoisemaker.8/10 in stores now
