Sharon Van Etten–New Album in New Year

Nov 24th, 2011 in Music

Sharon Van Etten, one of the best new songstresses to appear recently on the scene in America or anywhere, has announced she will release a new album, “Tramp,” (on Jagjaguwar) to follow up her stunning “epic” album, a couple of songs of which you can check out HERE.  Check out the first song sampling off the new album, Serpents, via Pitchfork.  The new album was recorded with The National’s Aaron Dessner, with a stellar cast of Brooklyn-centric musicians (Bryce Dessner, The Walkmen’s Matt Barrick, Wye Oak’s Jenn Wasner, and Doveman’s Thomas Bartlett).

On Serpent we hear a more dense sound to go with the usual Van Etten harrow.  Check it out below.
