For all the attention that was paid to her 2012 break-through album 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.  black/grey/silver tri-colour vinyl LP.
