My Brightest Diamond: Disappear

The oddly alluring songs composed and performed by Shara Worden, doing musical business as My Brightest Diamond, remind me of the work of a young Kate Bush, with their melodic swoops, cinematic flourishes, and vocal tics. "Disappear" clicks along at a leisurely pace, Worden's lovely, somewhat fluttery voice singing against an idiosyncratic buffet of percussion and strings. Be sure to notice the chord changes, alternately gorgeous and jarring.
