From the very start, Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory is sonically different from Sharon Van Etten’s earlier work. For the first time, she writes and records in complete collaboration with her incredibly tight band, finding freedom through letting go. The result of this release is an exciting new dimension of sound and songwriting. The themes are timeless and typical of Sharon—life and living, love and being loved—but the sounds are new and sharp as glass.

Don’t miss the chance to see this live when Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory comes to Fållan in Stockholm on March 1.

There are moments when you think everything that can be sung about love and longing has already been sung. That you’ve had enough, and the references have long since been exhausted. But then someone like Sharon Van Etten comes along, with a brutal honesty that reminds you of the eternal relevance of these themes. Van Etten doesn’t do this with grandiose phrases but with raw kitchen-sink realism, which can be as romantic as it is pitch-black. It’s at times fragile, at times strong, sometimes hopeless, and sometimes hopeful. In other words: deeply human. And Sharon Van Etten’s voice is the perfect vessel for these extremes, effortlessly moving between powerfully vibrating and gently whispering. Whether there’s any distinction between the persona in her songs and Sharon herself is unclear, but if there is, she deserves an award for her otherworldly empathy. Either way, the confessions are so painfully close that the effect remains therapeutic.
