SHARON VAN ETTEN GIVES GLIMPSE INTO TRAMP WITH “SERPENTS”
SHARON VAN ETTEN GIVES GLIMPSE INTO TRAMP WITH “SERPENTS” AND ALBUM ART LISTEN/DOWNLOAD NOW TRAMP OUT FEBRUARY 7, 2012 ON JAGJAGUWAR
Sharon Van Etten’s new album (Tramp, out Feb. 7, 2012 on Jagjaguwar) showcases an artist in full control of her powers, and “Serpents” blares Tramp’s articulated vision. With venomous strength, Sharon’s singing and lyrics attack self-doubt and insecurity, when one feels the initial pangs of a relationship turning away from beauty towards rot. She’s backed by a supporting cast of The National’s Aaron Dessner (slide guitar, bass) and Bryce Dessner (ebo guitar), The Walkmen’s Matt Barrick (drums), Doveman’s Thomas Bartlett (keys), and Wye Oak’s Jenn Wasner (vocals). “Serpents” offers only an inkling of the glorious Tramp, an album nuanced in a language of powerful rock, minimal beauty, and pious strength.
