4 Shark EP Remixes released today!

January 26, 2010

After My Brightest Diamond finished up A Thousand Shark’s Teeth, she sat down with record label Asthmatic Kitty to talk remixes. It was then we all decided on a unique conceptual experiment: hand over the masters to our four favorite remixers and watch what happened. Needless to say we were impressed with the results. Alfred Brown turned over an EP of stellar avant-classical deconstruction of Teeth. Ryan Lott (Son Lux) decided take the original material in four entirely different and unique directions. Roberto C. Lange (of Helado Negro) turned Teeth into something akin to a floating weather balloon hoisted by the warm air of informed Latin percussion. And DM Stith took the songs by the hand and briskly walked them into the dark – and back out again. All told, twenty-two tracks, each one pulling back another layer of the music of My Brightest Diamond.

It’s kind of a tease but we’ve put one track from each volume into a single zip file, which you can download by clicking here. When you want it all, you can buy the CD here for $22 (+S&H) or the 320kbps MP3 download here for $17.

Happy New Year lovely people!

After a year long absence from the New York stage, My Brightest Diamond will be headlining a show at Bowery Ballroom on January 22nd. Shara had so much fun on the short European tour this last December that she, together with drummer Brian Wolfe and bassist Nathan Lithgow, decided to keep the glow alive by playing in New York and adding Butoh dancing and clowns for fun.

We hope you will join us to celebrate the limited physical release of the Shark Remixes collection. The hand numbered and signed Shark Remixes will be available at the show on the 22nd, or online on January 26th.  *If you are afraid of balloons, this is a warning that there will LOTS of balloons at this show.
