Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory released their self-titled debut album, on February 7th via Jagjaguwar. Just released is this new video for ‘I Can’t Imagine (Why You Feel This Way)’. Check it out below
Recorded with producer Marta Salogni at London’s The Church, 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) — “[pushing] Van Etten to go louder, rawer, and altogether more evocative at every turn” (Vulture) and allowing her the freedom that comes from letting go. With Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory, Van Etten deepens the discourse that animates so much of her timeless catalog, exploring what it is to be simply human. This is her genius – oblique, but also relevant and personal.
Praise for Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory
“Sharon Van Etten is so back.” – NYLON
“[‘Afterlife’ is] bigger and louder and more nakedly emotional than anything she’s done since ‘Seventeen,’ and it hits that same anthemic register. Something special is happening here.” — Stereogum
“Sharon Van Etten is utterly timeless, the type of artist who can unite listeners of many generations with the rich timbre of her voice.” — Paste
