New Music: Afterlife

          

Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory announce their self-titled debut album, out February 7th, and release the lead single, "Afterlife." Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory presents an exhilarating new dimension of Van Etten’s sound and songwriting. For the first time, it was written and recorded in total collaboration with her band — Jorge Balbi (drums, machines), Devra Hoff (bass, vocals), and Teeny Lieberson (synth, piano, guitar, vocals) — allowing Van Etten the freedom that comes by letting go. The themes are timeless, classic Sharon, but the sounds are new, wholly realized and sharp as glass. This new approach began while rehearsing in the desert for an upcoming tour when Van Etten invited her band into the creative process. The video, directed by Susu Laroche, collects footage of the band debuting many of the album songs in London’s intimate 100 Club in the midst of recording the album.
