The split 7″ vinyl from My Brightest Diamond and Dayna Kurtz can now be ordered online (or gotten at a handful of shows currently).

This split seven-inch finds Asthmatic Kitty star My Brightest Diamond and fellow songwriter Dayna Kurtz covering each other’s songs. Kurtz brings her smoky, deep alto to Shara Worden’s ‘Gone Away’ (from the MBD album, Bring Me The Workhorse), twanging spookily through accompanying banjo passages. Worden returns the favor with her take on Kurtz’s ‘Postcards From Downtown’ (from the album of the same name) which is similarly eerie in demeanor but ranks as a slightly more produced-sounding affair, complete with both acoustic and electric guitars, asthmatic old drums and echoing lo-fi keyboard leads. There are only 150 copies of this limited edition single in circulation, so get in there quick.

You can also listen to the tracks at the order page as well.
