Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory (Awareness Edition) vinyl

Few songwriters have the ability to pen a melody that welcomingly sticks in your head for years after you hear it only once but Sharon Van Etten has that. It's especially prominent on the Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter's track from her fourth album, originally released in 2014, 'Every Time The Sun Comes Up'. Fast forward ten years past two more acclaimed solo albums and Van Etten has reached a new phase where she's been writing more collaboratively with her band, hence why The Attachment Theory are named on the record. "For the first time in my life I asked the band if we could just jam. Words that have never come out of my mouthiever! But I loved all the sounds we were getting. I was curiousiwhat would happen?" she says in a press release. And the result of that different approach is staggering. The first single 'Afterlife' shoots like a dagger to the heart and the gloom pop melds swagger and sadness into an atmospheric triumph. This record is likely going to be in many best of 2025 album lists.
