Who
A stalwart of the indie rock scene, Sharon Van Etten perfectly crafts beguiling noir-pop, spiralling, cathartic and seeping with emotion. Ethereal vocals with a masterful range, an artist whose atmosphere you will fast be addicted to.
What
Van Etten takes a long look in the mirror to draw inspiration for her sixth studio album, a home-recorded lockdown rumination which sees the musician face her demons and reclaim her past mistakes. An exploration of the self, designed to be listened to in order, all at once, so that a much larger story of hope, loss, longing and resilience can be told.
