It's a unique power of Van\r\nEtten's; she creates a bond with the listener that few contemporary\r\nmusicians can match. The result of that effort was Are We There, a\r\nself-produced album of exceptional intimacy, sublime generosity,\r\nand immense breadth.\r\n Are We There turns ten this year and reasserts itself as a one of\r\nher most powerful and timeless collections. It is clear from the\r\nopening chords in the first song, \"Afraid of Nothing\", that we are\r\nwitnessing a new awareness, a sign of Van Etten in full stride,\r\nwriting, producing, and performing from a place that seems almost\r\nmythical, were it not so touchable and real. Always direct, and\r\nnever shying away even from the most personally painful narratives,\r\nmany of the songs deal with seemingly impossible decisions,\r\nanticipation, and then resolution. She sings of the nature of desire,\r\nmemory, of being lost, emptiness, of promises and loyalty, fear and\r\nchange, of healing and the true self, violence and sanctuary, waiting,\r\nof silence. Amidst all that truly brutal honestly, Van Etten finds\r\nmoments of levity, as she always does. \"Every Time the Sun Comes\r\nUp\" started out as a lark but lifts the album at it's close, completes\r\nthe world she's let us into, and resets us gently for whatever might\r\nfollow. It has, since then, become an indelible staple of Van Etten's\r\nlive shows.\r\n It's enough to live your music without taking on the role of\r\nproducer as well, but Van Etten knew it was time to make a record\r\nentirely on her terms. At the same time, Van Etten did recognize\r\nthis didn't mean having to go it alone, and she assembled a beloved,\r\nnow-celebrated community to bring her vision to life. To record,\r\nVan Etten found a kindred spirit in veteran music producer Stewart\r\nLerman. Originally working together on Boardwalk Empire, they\r\ngently moved into new roles, rallying around the idea of making a\r\nrecord together in Lerman's studio in New Jersey. Lerman's studio\r\nexpertise gave Van Etten the freedom to make Are We There the\r\nway she imagined. Van Etten also enlisted the individual talents of\r\nher band, consisting of Heather Woods Broderick, Doug Keith and\r\nZeke Hutchins, and brought in friends Dave Hartley and Adam\r\nGranduciel from The War on Drugs, Jonathan Meiberg\r\n(Shearwater), Jana Hunter (Lower Dens), Peter Broderick,\r\nMackenzie Scott (Torres), Stuart Bogie, Jacob C. Morris and\r\nMickey Freeze. The incomparable Richard Swift brought it all\r\nhome, working with Van Etten on the final mix.\r\n The artist who speaks in such a voice is urging us to do something,\r\nto take hold and to go deeper. Living in this way, the questions of\r\nlife remain alive, as close and steady as breathing. Many of the\r\nballads of old are as dark as pitch, and people for whom the issues\r\nof life and death were as vivid as flame wrote them. You could turn\r\noff the electricity, remove all the instruments and Sharon's voice\r\nand words would remain. They connect her to the mystic stratum\r\nwhich flows just beneath the everyday, they are as powerful today\r\nas ten years ago, and they're sure to endure for years to come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel: Jagjaguwar\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 674012926445\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: May 29, 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfraid of Nothing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Taking Chances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Your Love is Killing Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Our Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tarifa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Love You But I'm Lost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You Know Me Well\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Break Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Nothing Will Change\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Know\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Every Time the Sun Comes Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"02- Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58490524008792,"sku":"674012926422.0","price":8.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/3040\/1368\/files\/4342102-3183777.jpg?v=1789613574","url":"https:\/\/global-links-6129.myshopify.com\/products\/sharon-van-etten-are-we-there-10-year-anniversary-edition-lp-colored-vinyl-anniversary-edition","provider":"GLOBAL LINKS ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
