Sharon Van Etten - Are We There (10 Year Anniversary Edition) (Vinyl)
Sharon Van Etten celebrates Are We There's 10 Year Anniversary with Special Edition Vinyl. Out May 31st on Jagjaguwar
Sharon Van Etten celebrates 10 years of Are We There, one of her most powerful and timeless collections, and announces the Are We There (Anniversary Edition), out May 31st via Jagjaguwar.
Upon its release in 2014, Are We There was described by Rolling Stone as “a magnificent fourth LP, which grows her trademark examinations of romantic decay to cathedral-like scale,” and by Pitchfork as “her most present-tense album to date, her most immediate and urgent—the peak of a steady upward trajectory.” It garnered collective praise from fans and critics across the globe, and landed on a slew of Best of 2014 lists, including top 25 nods from Uncut, Under The Radar, Paste, MOJO, Pitchfork, New York Magazine, Consequence, A.V. Club and beyond.
For all the attention that was paid to her 2012 break-through album Tramp, Sharon Van Etten returned to the studio ready and eager to turn another corner, delve deeper, and write with more honesty and vulnerability than ever. The result of that effort was Are We There, a self-produced album of exceptional intimacy, sublime generosity, and immense breadth.
From the opening chords of the first song, “Afraid of Nothing,” listeners witnessed a new awareness – a sign of Van Etten in full stride, writing, producing, and performing from a place that seemed almost mythical. It’s a unique power of Van Etten’s; she creates a bond with the listener that few contemporary musicians can match.
Always direct, and never shying away even from the most personally painful narratives, many of the songs deal with seemingly impossible decisions, anticipation, and then resolution. Amidst brutal honesty, Van Etten finds moments of levity, as she always does. Her voice and words are as powerful today as ten years ago, and they’re sure to endure for years to come.
