Sharon Van Etten - Are We There (10th Anniversary ) Grey Silver Black Tri Colour Vinyl
lbum Tramp, Sharon Van Etten returned to the studio ready and
eager to turn another corner, delve deeper, and write with more
honesty and vulnerability than ever. It’s a unique power of Van
Etten’s; she creates a bond with the listener that few contemporary
musicians can match. The result of that effort was Are We There, a
self-produced album of exceptional intimacy, sublime generosity,
and immense breadth.
Are We There turns ten this year and reasserts itself as a one of
her most powerful and timeless collections. It is clear from the
opening chords in the first song, “Afraid of Nothing”, that we are
witnessing a new awareness, a sign of Van Etten in full stride,
writing, producing, and performing from a place that seems almost
mythical, were it not so touchable and real. Always direct, and
never shying away even from the most personally painful narratives,
many of the songs deal with seemingly impossible decisions,
anticipation, and then resolution. She sings of the nature of desire,
memory, of being lost, emptiness, of promises and loyalty, fear and
change, of healing and the true self, violence and sanctuary, waiting,
of silence. Amidst all that truly brutal honestly, Van Etten finds
moments of levity, as she always does. “Every Time the Sun Comes
Up” started out as a lark but lifts the album at its close, completes
the world she’s let us into, and resets us gently for whatever might
follow. It has, since then, become an indelible staple of Van Etten’s
live shows.
It's enough to live your music without taking on the role of
producer as well, but Van Etten knew it was time to make a record
entirely on her terms. At the same time, Van Etten did recognize
this didn’t mean having to go it alone, and she assembled a beloved,
now-celebrated community to bring her vision to life. To record,
Van Etten found a kindred spirit in veteran music producer Stewart
Lerman. Originally working together on Boardwalk Empire, they
gently moved into new roles, rallying around the idea of making a
record together in Lerman's studio in New Jersey. Lerman's studio
expertise gave Van Etten the freedom to make Are We There the
way she imagined. Van Etten also enlisted the individual talents of
her band, consisting of Heather Woods Broderick, Doug Keith and
Zeke Hutchins, and brought in friends Dave Hartley and Adam
Granduciel from The War on Drugs, Jonathan Meiberg
(Shearwater), Jana Hunter (Lower Dens), Peter Broderick,
Mackenzie Scott (Torres), Stuart Bogie, Jacob C. Morris and
Mickey Freeze. The incomparable Richard Swift brought it all
home, working with Van Etten on the final mix.
The artist who speaks in such a voice is urging us to do something,
to take hold and to go deeper. Living in this way, the questions of
life remain alive, as close and steady as breathing. Many of the
ballads of old are as dark as pitch, and people for whom the issues
of life and death were as vivid as flame wrote them. You could turn
off the electricity, remove all the instruments and Sharon's voice
and words would remain. They connect her to the mystic stratum
which flows just beneath the everyday, they are as powerful today
as ten years ago, and they’re sure to endure for years to com
