update (4/26/2008)
My Brightest Diamond has posted the first sample of the album to come on her MySpace page HERE: http://www.myspace.com/mybrightestdiamond

It’s called “Inside a Boy,” and it quite rocks more than I was expecting (seeing as I heard rumors of this record being more operatically bent). Yay!

My Brightest Diamond‘s A Thousand Shark’s Teeth

In an increasingly troubling manner (me being just short of reviewing something before it’s out), here’s another hypothesis (in the alternative form): Shara Worden/My Brightest Diamond‘s upcoming album, A Thousand Shark’s Teeth (Asthmatic Kitty Records), will be a fantastic record.

Shara Worden’s vocals are utterly sublime.  It’s quite compelling to witness her singing in a live setting… she brings operatic vocal training to the indie rock scene.

We’ll be able to test the null hypothesis, H0: A Thousand Shark’s Teeth = not fantastic, against the alternative hypothesis starting Tuesday, June 17th (seventeeth?).  I imagine we’ll be able to reject the null hypothesis with statistically significant results (p-value < .001).

Yeah, too many accounting research papers for me this week…
