Sharon Van Etten is a singer songwriter from Brooklyn, New York. Ghostly organ, gracious sympathetic string arrangements, a distinct southern folk influence, this EP is much emotional baggage laid down for so few songs. Charred and languid voice streaming themes of heartbreak allowing her distress to become sovereign. Self analysis and brutal honesty bordering on self deprecation, countered with self absolution in the face of blame. A constant plea to perhaps change what she knows she cannot. Dark and cunning. A collection of songs that fill the heart, rising and falling innocuously and haunting me like an EKG. Rapture and ecstasy endowed by embracing life’s eventual despondency. Loving the lowly on this splendid EP.
