Sharon Van Etten and The Attachment Theory’s self-titled record is an early Album of the Year contender “Sensitively produced by Marta Salogni, the result is both seductive and hypnotic – it’s as though Van Etten has taken a creative stage dive and found herself held aloft by supportive bandmates” –  – 5 Star Album-  INDEPENDENT

 Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory Reviewed: New outfit slip into the synth pop shadows. You want it darker? New band, new direction for singer’s latest LP. “There’s plenty of evidence on 2019’s Remind Me Tomorrow and 2022’s We’ve Been Going About This All Wrong that Sharon Van Etten is no stranger to a synthesizer, but this collaboration with her ‘new’ band The Attachment Theory displays an all-in commitment to the darker side of electronic pop. There’s a clue to the record’s mood-board in the fact that The Cure’s Lol Tolhurst wrote her press biography, but Van Etten’s melancholy – somehow both world-weary and unearthly – has been shaped into songs that range from Fading Beauty’s space-madrigal abstraction to the Gary Numan/Happy Mondays clash of Southern Life (What It Must Be Like). It’s not necessarily what everyone who loves Van Etten will be seeking from her, but there’s no mistaking her tightrope-walking grace on Afterlife or the goth Springsteenof Idiot Box. Like her sometime collaborator Angel Olsen, she’s found a gift for reinvention; the change suits her”. – MOJO

Sharon Van Etten Tries a New Role: Team Player The indie singer-songwriter’s new album Sharon Van Etten and the Attachment Theory is her first fronting a band and her most groove-oriented record yet. – 4 Star Album – Rolling Stone

Sharon Van Etten and the Attachment Theory album review – going goth to confront our grim world. Fronting a brand new band, the singer-songwriter dives into the dark side, with confusion and foreboding creeping through 80s moods, big choruses and fine melodies. – 4 Star Album – The Guardian
