My Brightest Diamond - Bring Me the Workhorse (2006)


Dramatic, epic, neoclassical-infused art rock. Towering, cinematic strings, ghostly guitars, and Shara Nova's elastic, classically-trained vocals. Bring Me the Workhorse explores mortality and mourning via metaphor, story, and direct emotional observation, and it's still (imo) the best MBD. I guess it's more difficult than those of her would-be contemporaries, but I still say this should've been a bigger record.

Track listing:
1. Something of an End
2. Golden Star
3. Gone Away
4. Dragonfly
5. Freak Out
6. We Were Sparkling
7. Disappear
8. The Robin's Jar
9. Magic Rabbit
10. The Good & the Bad Guy
11. Workhorse
