My Brightest Diamond – Dorian (Weekly Music Roundup)
My Brightest Diamond plays on May 14 at Rough Trade. 
Tickets: $20. 21+. Show at 9 pm. 

Singer Shara Nova (frmly Shara Worder) uses her own name for her contemporary classical work, but she has also recorded a series of art-rock albums under the name My Brightest Diamond. And that’s the name she uses for this new song, called "Dorian." The song, which contains everything from birds to buzzing electric guitar, seems to occupy that tenuous place between love and obsession, between desire and the desire to control. 

My Brightest Diamond plays next Tuesday night at Rough Trade in Brooklyn and the video for "Dorian" is part of our Weekly Music Roundup.
