My Brightest Diamond's switch from Horse to Shark means Shara Worden has a lot of spring cleaning to do in preparation for her sophomore album's June 17 release on Asthmatic Kitty.

For starters, she released A Thousand Shark's Teeth's first single to the digital realm yesterday (May 6). The four-track "Inside a Boy" single comes with remixes from Tim Fite and Son Lux, the latter of which is already up in Forkcast.

MBD's other big recorded offering is a bonus EP that comes with Teeth pre-orders. The EP's six tracks consist of alternate versions of album tunes and one non-album outtake.

To top it all off, My Brightest Diamond hit the road this May and June for some U.S. headlining dates and European festivals.

"Inside a Boy":

01 Inside a Boy
02 I Had a Pearl
03 Black and Costaud (Tim Fite Redux)
04 Inside a Boy (Son Lux Remix)

A Thousand Shark's Teeth bonus EP:

01 Apples (Alternate Version)
02 Bass Player (Alternate Version)
03 To Pluto's Moon (Alternate Version)
04 If I Were Queen (Alternate Version)
05 The Diamond (Alternate Version)
06 Music Box (Outtake)
