Sample Diamonds
Sufjan's Greetings from Michigan... album art is among my very favorite, and that's why I decided to drop the cash on the vinyl version (...along with Illinois, and Seven Swans). To my delight, the good folks at Asthmatic Kitty sent along a little CD, Achoo! An Asthmatic Kitty Sampler. It's got a track from each of the label's releases: four by Suf, five (!) by the charming Half-Handed Cloud, and one each from newcomers Shapes and Sizes and My Brightest Diamond. Surprisingly, it's the latter which has me all astir: secret-agent cool without the kitsch, confident and sexy. Best of all? There's a point, two minutes in, where the tension comes to a head in a single shrilling, thrilling note. Give it a go, get excited - this is the new sound.
Visit My Brightest Diamond online, and buy the album Bring Me The Workhorse on August 22.

I adore this record. especially "something of an end" got me. this is one of the best songs i've heard in months.
and thanks for commenting on my mountain goats posting. it's nice to see that somebody else besides my three friends are visiting the blog.
