Biography

The shimmering sound of Tramp both defies and illuminates the unsteadiness of a life in flux. During the 14 months of scattered recording sessions, Sharon Van Etten was without a home - crashing with friends and spreading out her possessions between various locations. The only constant during this time was when Van Etten returned to the garage studio of The National’s Aaron Dessner.

Editorial Reviews

Certain musicians are magic. Their voices prick up the ears of those far afield, melt the hearts of those within earshot and magnetize the attention of those souls fortunate enough to have a clear sightline. Sharon Van Etten is a singer and songwriter who trades in that caliber of mysticism. What her heart bleeds her songs soak in and offer up to those throats in need of slaking. This is what we expect from musicians who trade in the autobiographical. We hold forth empty vessels and expect them to be filled with the reflective elements of a songwriter's soul, mirrors within which we search for some small recognizable part of the self. Sharon's bane may be to feel too deeply, but her raw nerves, open heart and generous soul offer the rest of us a means to ease our own points of suffering. 11 tracks.

5.0 out of 5 stars It would be nice gift, May 23, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Because I Was in Love (Audio CD)
First I met that album in a blog with 'For you' track. And then I began to figure out Sharon Van Etten -in interviews, video clips... So first I purchased album as mp3. After that, I lay down my bed and listened to all album from the beginning. It reminded me a girl who lives in town where I live as a foreign student. So I decided to buy it to keep it, or if I saw that girl again and I met, may be simply I'd share it with her before going to my country for holiday.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sharon has the magic., January 18, 2010
This review is from: Because I Was in Love (Audio CD)
It is impossible for me to write something here that would capture her art. For lovers of beautiful music, tragic love, and/or glorious failure, it cuts right through to where your soul would be if such things existed. You have the Internet. Use it wisely.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple. Beautiful., June 7, 2009
On a trip to NY a while ago, a friend brought me to the back room of a small Brooklyn venue and showed me this amazingly beautiful artist. Her melodies and lyrics stick with me, especially on tracks like "It's Not Like" and "Keep." It's great to have a more well-mastered recording than the home versions I've been listening to (and still quite enjoying.)
