Sharon Van Etten released a way-too-short teaser of her new album, "Are We There," which will be released in May by Jagjaguwar.
Her music is sometimes folksy and quiet, sometimes rock-n-roll-sy (is that a word?) and bold. Regardless of style, it's always powerful.
Needless to say, I'm obsessed already with her new stuff, even after hearing just 50 seconds of it. Typical strong vocals by Sharon, backed by Heather Woods Broderick's perfect harmonies... laid over oscillating strings. If only I didn't have to wait 3 months to hear the rest of the LP.
