Under her moniker of My Brightest Diamond Shara Worden takes a monumental musical leap inspired by childhood memories of marching bands…watch her new video.
A Mothers Day Song or two: from two incredible female artists, one from vocally inspiring Julianna Barwick and one from the lovely Shara Worden (My Brightest Diamond) who is also a mother.
The third album from My Brightest Diamond, ‘All Things Will Unwind’ was composed exclusively with the chamber ensemble yMusic (Bon Iver, Antony & the Johnsons, The New York Philharmonic & Rufus Wainwright) and more folk-tinged than much of Shara Worden’s recent work.
A noted highlight of the annual MusicNow festival weekend was a collaboration between Megafaun, Fight The Big Bull, Bon Iver and Sharon Van Etten called Sound Of The South, re-imaginings of the songs recorded by ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax in his early travels.
It was by complete chance that I came across this release. The chain of events that led me to it are not worthy of a mention, honest. My initial thoughts were that I must have missed something somewhere, I did.
