When it kicks off with its marching drums and funereal organs,
it almost sounds like a RZA concoction. Then that haunting
voice cuts through and you realize one of indie folk's most
spellbinding singer-songwriters has returned
Off her fourth album 'Are We There' out May 27th
via Jagjaguwar, this stunner finds Sharon Van Etten
honing her mastery of magnetic melancholia. With
lyrics that are simple yet gut-busting and instrumentation
more lush than her last album, it is a miracle
how she fashions a doomed dysfunctional love into
a thing of grace and catharsis.
