Events with Sharon Van Etten
Sharon Van Etten
From the off, Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory is sonically
different from Van Etten’s previous work. Writing and recording in total
collaboration with her band for the first time, Van Etten finds the
freedom that comes by letting go. The result of that liberation is an
exhilarating new dimension of sound and songwriting. The themes are
timeless, classic Sharon – life and living, love and being loved – but
the sounds are new, wholly realized and sharp as glass.
Reflecting on this new artistic frame of mind, Van Etten muses, “Sometimes it's exciting, sometimes it's scary, sometimes you feel stuck. It's like every day feels a little different – just being at peace with whatever you're feeling and whoever you are and how you relate to people in that moment. If I can just keep a sense of openness while knowing that my feelings change every day, that is all I can do right now. That and try to be the best person I can be while letting other people be who they are and not taking it personally and just being. I'm not there, but I'm trying to be there every day.”
Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory is a quantum leap in that direction.
