My Brightest Diamond - A Thousand Sharks Teeth
This is actually the sophomore album of My Brightest Diamond (Shara Worden), although a remix album was released after her debut. Shara Worden’s musical upcoming is that of opera and classical music, which is quite evident in both her albums. And while in her debut Bring Me the Workhorse the rock side of her was more dominant, this time around it’s the opposite. Both albums do share the same pattern though, starting with rock tracks that bring PJ Harvey in mind and slowly mellowing down into dreamy orchestrations. Shara has a high pitch ethereal voice which makes her differ from most artists but will also alienate a lot of audiences. I have to be honest, I found the intro of the album very promising, with Inside a Boy and The Ice & The Storm setting the scene for a female rock album that we’ve kind of missed the last few years, only to be left asking for more since the rest of the album follows a completely different path, more of a blend of Cocorosie, Bjork and a string quartet. Perhaps some may enjoy this, but it is definitely not my cup of cake. I’m more keen into her first album, although it did suffer of the same problem (in lesser extend though). The record is out June 17 on Asthmatic Kitty Records. Until then enjoy some samples..
