My Brightest Diamond — A Thousand Shark's Teeth

On Bring Me The Workhorse, My Brightest Diamond last album, figurehead Shara Worden used her operatically trained voice to alternately soar through the clouds and dredge in the muck to create a wildly turbulent and emotional musical ride.

My Brightest Diamond Plays Adorable Set
