The Fat Angel Sings

I just love this track from Sharon Van Etten American singer songwriter based in Brooklyn a track from the album “Are We There” on Jagjaguwar Records. with enough rasp and sorrow in her voice to keep from sounding too pure or confident the songs draw you in. Her songs have a heavy use of harmonies with back up singer Heather Woods Broderick, Van Etten was traning to be a Sommelier working at a new York wine store for three years before becoming a full time musician. Sharon Van Etten is a massively strong songwriter who’s only realized the power of her words and melodies over the course of recording them. So not only does she become more sure of herself with each go-round, she gets better at expressing both that assuredness and the complicated, difficult, timid emotional places that inspire her.
