When we think of My Brightest Diamond (aka Sufjan compatriot Shara Worden), ponies, orchestras, and churches spring to mind-- but the last thing we think is "remix album dance party wamp wamp whoa!" Which makes our thinking just plain wrong, because My Brighest Diamond has announced a remix disc, Tear It Down, set for release on March 6 via Asthmatic Kitty.

Alias, Lusine, Gold Chains, Stakka, Murcof, and many more each play a part in reworking material from My Brightest Diamond's debut, Bring Me the Workhorse.

And while that sinks in, we'd like to remind you that Shara's scheduled to launch a European tour in early February.

01 Alias - "Golden Star"
02 Lusine - "Workhorse"
03 Gold Chains - "Freak Out (Panique mix)"
