mybrightestdiamond.com
We’re very excited to bring you the new album from My Brightest Diamond. Having collaborated with Sufjan Stevens, Bon Iver and David Byrne she has a remarkable musical pedigree and this, her 3rd Album, should be the one that sets her up as a leading light in that highly regarded Art-Pop world she has been a key behind-the-scenes player in of recent years. For ‘All Things Will Unwind’ she brought in collaborators of her own, the revered yMusic, an alt-classical chamber orchestra, and their orchestrations beautifully complement her operatic voice and theatrical delivery, they also give an added flourish to they imagery laden lyrics. This is an incredibly accomplished album, one of those pieces of music you feel richer and smarter for having listened to. The best thing is it does this without trying to show you how smart it is
