Presenting the new animated video for Inside a Boy by Rafa Toro!!!!!

Shark Remixes Vol. 1 has been released!  Drawing inspiration from My Brightest Diamond’s many references to the heavens, remixer Alfred Brown developed a narrative to guide the composition process of his remixes.  The stunning result is a cinematic and textural avant-classical deconstruction of the My Brightest Diamond’s A Thousand Shark’s Teeth. Instead of a straight ahead approach to remixing a single song, Alfred combined parts from different songs, juxtaposing new elements to give the preexisting material new meaning.  For more details go HERE!

Rooftop concerts have a long and celebrated history in rock and roll, and so it’s no surprise that the recently launched Pitchfork.tv brought the rooftop concert to the living room laptop with their Don’t Look Down series of video. For the show’s newest installment, Don’t Look Down convinces My Brightest Diamond, in string quartet formation, to haul their instruments and equipment all the way up to a brickly rooftop in New York City. Once there, they play four perfect rooftop selections: “Golden Star,” “Apples,” “From the Top of the World” (from the recently released EP), and “Black & Costaud.” Part one is here, and part two is right here.
