You guys, I am adding another tiny post to talk about this album I've been playing over and over and over.
It's probably old news to some, but I am out of every indie rock loop imaginable. Shara Worden did this album with classical music group Signal called "Penelope". I've always been a sucker for epic, operatic type music with lots of string swells, which is why I love Shara's work in My Brightest Diamond. "Penelope" is a song cycle loosely based on "The Odyssey", about a woman whose husband returns from war after a 20 absence, brain damaged and completely lost. In reading her husband "The Odyssey", she finds a path to understanding her husband's state of mind.
This album is gorgeous. I can't say that I have ever heard anything like it, either. It's wonderfully experimental, full of twists and turns, listenable and challenging at the same time.
You need to find it and listen to it. That is all.
