Video: Exclusive: My Brightest Diamond: "Dragonfly"

My Brightest Diamond's Shara Worden tests her wings in the new video for "Dragonfly", flitting through the countryside while interpretive dancers in bug costumes leap, twirl, and plié. All of this feels ancient but familiar, just as the gothic dream of dancing dragonflies is interrupted by Shara finding herself, albeit somewhat confusedly, in Central Park.

"Dragonfly" is from Bring Me the Workhorse, My Brightest Diamond's debut album due out on August 22 on Asthmatic Kitty. This isn't the first time Worden's appeared on an Asthmatic Kitty release-- she sang backup on several tracks on Sufjan Stevens' Illinois and toured with him as an Illinoisemaker. My Brightest Diamond will also be the opening act on Sufjan's fall North American tour.
