Van Etten's new album, Tramp , is titled after the touring artist's time of essential homelessness. It's full of unresolved restlessness, infinite-loop longing and expansive vocals.

Sharon Van Etten Tramp Jagjaguwar Records [2012] Fire Note Says: Sharon Van Etten will quickly win you over on her new long player Tramp ! Album Review: If there is ever an artist that is on the verge of breaking out I would say that Brooklyn singer/songwriter Sharon Van Etten is close to the top of the list. Her confident siren vocals are the instant focal point on her new record Tramp but her lyrics that cover loneliness, cautiousness around others and an overall sense of uneasiness give the record its depth, cohesiveness and staying power. Van Etten made a ...

Whether it’s the result of self-sabotage or the hand of an unkind lover, Sharon Van Etten has the power to channel that painful ache from love gone awry in impressive fashion. And the 12 songs on Van Etten’s new LP Tramp — released this past Tuesday on Jagjaguwar — pack a musical and emotional punch. [...]

I truly meant to get this online this morning, to get the word out as soon as possible about this awesome benefit for the family of an extremely brave little boy . If you've ever had a love one battle cancer (and I have) you know it's a very draining experience, emotionally, physically and financially. Two-year-old Oliver Gant, son of New Raleigh co-founder Jed Gant, is battling a very rare cancer, and proceeds from this benefit will help the Gants, and benefit organizations that fight cancer.

Dusdin CondrenI’m not playing “firsties” here, but I’ve always known that Sharon Van Etten would go on to big things since writing up her debut Because I Was In Love back in October 2009, and following 2010′s excellent epic it seemed pretty clear that her third album Tramp – released yesterday – would be the [...]

“Serpents” is a complete departure from Sharon Van Etten‘s early work. Admittedly, I missed her sophomore release, Epic from 2010, but was fully entranced by her debut, 2009′s Because I Was In Love. Here, she shatters the quietude of the stripped-down acoustic guitar of that earliest album with a folk-rock piece that is utterly haunting. Musically, “Serpent” may fit the title of her sophomore release, but it’s off her new album, Tramp, which was released yesterday via Jagjaguwar. Download: “Serpents” by Sharon Van Etten
