My Brightest Diamond's Shara Worden has decided to set loose her bobby pins and let her

hair fly on the ambient dance floor. Her latest semi-collaboration with 13 different remixers,

entitled "Tear It Down", reworks songs from the highly acclaimed album, "Bring Me The

Workhorse" featuring tracks by Alias, Lusine, Murcof, Stakka and Gold Chains. Oh, it's

international too! With diplomatic representatives from Belgium, France, Mexico, The UK

and America (East and West Coasts baby!), the remixes range from drum-n-bass, to glitchy

ambient, minimalism, and get-your-booty-on-the-dance-floor club music.

"Tear It Down" stands on it's own horsie legs. In comparison to Shara's control in the

songs of "Bring Me The Workhorse", these electronic horsetrainers loosen up the forms and

smooth over some of the rougher emotional outbursts. Many of the remixers adhere to the

original song forms, snazzing them up or stripping them down, and there are also

examples of djs excerpting the tracks to create something entirely new and not song form

related, focusing on one element and elaborating, rather than being bound to the

storytelling. Shara says, "The variety of their approaches made this project exhiliratingly

unpredictable!"

"Worden is a remarkable chanteuse…Combining brainy indie-pop with touches of art-rock

and classical music, Worden's work radiates brilliance to match her considerable ambition."

– NPR

"...sprinkling PJ Harvey grit over Kate Bush operatics…. the sumptuous production and

Worden's voice are stunning." – Spin

"accomplished, graceful music" – Pitchfork
