My Brightest Diamond’s new album, All Things Will Unwind, is out in Europe (buy it on iTunes here), and NPR is streaming the album over at their First Listen section here.

One of our absolute favorite music websites ever in the history of internetting, La Blogothèque, did what they do best and posted some amazing footage of My Brightest Diamond. No one does this better than La Blogothèque! You can view one of the videos above, or all three here (Version française).

The third album from My Brightest Diamond, All Things Will Unwind, comes out in the US next Tuesday the 18th (and is already out in the EU). But NPR is graciously hosting a stream of the entire album right here.

If you’re hankering for something more visual, you can watch La Blogothèque’s lovely videos right here, or some mini-documentaries directed by Murat Eyuboglu over here.

You can preorder All Things Will Unwind on iTunes here, or CD/LP here.

We’re on the edge of our seats over here at AK HQ because next Monday we’ll be releasing All Things Will Unwind in the European Union (on Tuesday, October 18th for the US). It will be quite a treat!

Here’s another treat for you all across the pond: you can expect a My Brightest Diamond show in your neighborhood in November! MBD will start in London with a full ensemble, then travel to Rome, Milan, Zurich, Berlin, Cologne, Ekko, Leuven, and close out in Paris (where else!). Details on that tour are here.

If you’d like to know more about the forthcoming Unwind album, you can do no better than watching these videos directed by Murat Eyuboglu right here. You can preorder the album on iTunes by clicking here, or preorder the CD/LP over here.

Directed by long-time My Brightest Diamond collaborator and friend Murat Eyuboglu, this video is the first of series of behind-the-scenes looks at the creation of the forthcoming All Things Will Unwind. 

You can preorder a CD or LP by clicking here, or from iTunes right here.

 We have the great pleasure of releasing All Things Will Unwind, the third album from My Brightest Diamond, on October 18th (October 10th in the EU). Though you can now preorder the album on iTunes or here, it’s a ways off though, so MBD was kind of enough to send up this docu-video of “Be Brave.”

On October 18th in the US (October 10th in the EU), we will have the very, very lucky honor of releasing All Things Will Unwind, the third album from My Brightest Diamond.

Shara Worden, of our own My Brightest Diamond, is appearing in many places; most recently on a recent release from multi-media artist Murat Eyuboglu entitled Letters to Distant Cities. With the project, Murat explores the poetry of Turkish-American poet Mustafa Ziyala, and brings his work into synchronicity with music, photography, video, and illustration, using the talents of Shara, as well as Clare Mulduar (of Clare & the Reasons) and Rob Moose of yMusic. The album, released on March 29th, includes 24 photographic illustrations of each one of Ziyala's poems, several videos, and the CD, which itself includes readings of the poetry by Shara (in English).

My Brightest Diamond (aka Shara Worden) is touring, albeit briefly but in some really terrific venues. She’ll open the tour in the Allen Room in New York City at the  Time Warner Building on Columbus Circle on January 27th as part of the Lincoln Center’s American Songbook series. Chamber ensemble yMusic will be playing alongside, which basically means this is a not-to-miss show. Buy tickets for it here. She’ll then be playing in trio or solo form in Ithaca, Rochester, Cleveland, Holland (MI), Chicago, Madison, and Minneapolis. Details here. 

Even if you can’t get to one of the shows, you will probably hear her somewhere. For example, she’s on Owen Pallet’s recent, free EP (downloadable here). She recorded “I’m on Fire,” a duet with Stateless’ Chris James for their new album, Matilda. Colin Stetson’s forthcoming album features her on ?Lord I Just Can?t Keep From Crying Sometimes? and ?Fear of the Unknown and the Blazing Sun.” Finally, Murat Eyuboglu’s forthcoming multimedia release, Letters to Distant Cities, features poetry recitation and a song by Shara. So. Shara, everywhere. That’s a good, great thing.

We are very pleased to announce that Shara has been asked to give a concert as a part of the American Songbook series presented by Lincoln Center. This performance will take place on Thursday, January 27th in The Allen Room. She is frantically writing new music, which will be premiered at this special show. Joining her onstage will be a drummer, bassist and yMusic (violin, viola, cello, flute, clarinet & trumpet).

Additionally, Shara will be presenting a joint-bill with Sarah Kirkland Snider and yMusic at the Southern Theater in Minneapolis on May 4 & 5. Shara will perform "Letters from Charles" (a song cycle she composed for herself and yMusic, based on letters from her Grandfather to her Grandmother). She will also sing Ms. Snider's "Penelope." Above is a video for music from that project shot by Murat Eyuboglu.

In other news, Shara was commissioned by Music at the Anthology, Inc. (MATA) to compose a piece of music for voice and piano, which premiered by Gabriel Kahane on November 17th as part of the MATA Interval Series Concert at Issue Project Room.
