MP3: The Antlers & Sharon Van Etten – Nothing Matters…

Last night marked my fourth time witnessing Sharon Van Etten’s live show in the last ten weeks. Her heartbreaking ditties paired with her soothing, astounding & jaw dropping vocal delivery have me utterly hooked.

MP3: Sharon Van Etten – Consolation Prize

Every once in a great while, a vocalist comes along and brings you massive goosebumps. For me, right now, that musician is most definitely Sharon Van Etten. I was fortunate enough to catch her twice during CMJ 2008 and fell hard for her passionate, intimate and breathtaking performances. Sharon will probably be grouped alongside Cat Power, Leona Naess & Rachael Yamagata in forthcoming reviews, but in all honesty she truly resonates an immediacy that far surpasses all of the aforementioned artists. Sharon Van Etten’s proper debut full-length will drop in early 2009. Visit SVE on MySpace.
