SHARON VAN ETTEN - LEONARD - LIFE OF HIS OWN (LIMITED EDITION 7")

Sharon Van Etten Leonard/Life Of His Own on Limited Edition 7" Vinyl

"Leonard" is the second single from Tramp, the new album from Sharon Van Etten. The B-side is an unreleased track from the Tramp session, entitled “Life of His Own,” which Sharon performed at CMJ with Aaron Dessner.

The shimmering sound of Sharon Van Etten’s Jagjaguwar debut album, Tramp, both defies and illuminates the unsteadiness of a life in flux. Throughout the 14 months of scattered recording sessions, Van Etten was without a home, crashing with friends and storing her possessions between varied locations. The only constant in Van Etten’s life during this time was spent in Aaron Dessner’s garage studio.

Tramp contains as much striking rock (the precise venom of “Serpents,” the overwhelming power of “Ask”), as pious, minimal beauty (the earnest solemnity of “All I Can,” the breathtaking “Kevins,” “Joke or a Lie”); it can be as emotionally combative (“Give Out”) as it can sultry (“Magic Chords”). Contributions from Matt Barrick (Walkmen), Thomas Bartlett (Doveman), Zach Condon (Beirut), Jenn Wasner (Wye Oak), Julianna Barwick, and Dessner himself add a glowing sheen to the already substantial offering.
