I've been meaning to post this for over a year. I think i have issues, but never mind that now.
My Brightest Diamond is a band that's mainly formed by Shara Worden, who produces music that's anchored by her gorgeous voice, which is then surrounded by haunting notes, even in the half of her tracks which are more straightforward pop songs. Her second album is streamed on her site, in addition to some off-album tracks (i love her rendition of Kurt Weill's "Youkali"). I first heard her on XM (back then it was still XM), and Kim and i went to see her play at Villa Montalvo. She likes to play baritone guitar, which i love, and she does crazy things with her hair.
Below you can see her playing one of my favorite songs of hers, "Apples", followed by "The Gentlest Gentleman", an off-album track.
