Sharon Van Etten Attached again – and this time she came with it. The singer officially joined Devra hoff (low), Teeny Lieberson (synthesizers and vocals) and Jorge Balbi (battery).

The cast is not totally new: Sharon He told his newsletter that in 2022 he was touring with the group. At one point, she “interrupted the rehearsal” because she was “tired of listening” to her own songs. It was then that the artist asked friends to have an improvisation session – it was the beginning of the Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory.

The band released on Friday, 7, a self-titled album, which deepens Gothic aesthetics and sounds that refer to the 1980s of Van etten. For part of the artist’s fans, the new album seems the natural result of what she had been exploring in her last two solo projects: Remind Me Tomorrow (2019) and We’ve Been Going About This All Wrong (2022).

Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory It starts with “Live Forever”, which, despite taking the same name as one of the most famous tracks in Oasisit has nothing to do with the British. The song is introduced with electronic sounds, soon invaded by the bass of Devil and then the battery of Jorgecausing the music to pass from a space atmosphere, conferred by the synthesizers of Teenyfor a song that resembles progressive rock.

“Afterlife” was the first single released – less risky than the other two. With a rhythm that suggests a calm dance, this would play on the radio. The letter can acquire romantic interpretations and even suitable for mourning.

In “IDIOTO BOX”, is the keyboard of Teeny and the riff of Sharon that draw more attention. The bands that were born in England – where the album was recorded – which Van etten quotes as inspirations in your newsletter, as The Cure and New Order They begin to demonstrate their influence on the disc.

Shouts from the singer, who says “Let’s Go” in the middle “Idiot Box” and “Stop It” in “I Can’t Imagine (Why Feel This Way),” Arcade Fire and Talking Heads. Already the energy in “Trouble” is CHROMATICSwith less mystery and a repetitive keyboard – which is not bad. The bass makes the song more obscure.

“Indian” is short, as is “I Can’t Imagine (Why You Feel This Way). The first battery refers to post-punk, while the second is more fun and accelerated, with Devil and Jorge driving the track very well. “Somethin ‘Ain’t Right”, in turn, has a chorus that softens the mood on the verse “of you Belive in Compassion for Enemies” and creates tension again when Sharon Sings “Somethin ‘Ain’t Right” and Honor Peter hook on the guitar.

Throughout the album, and especially in their second half, the band approaches critical letters that explore individual interaction with the collective. “Southern Life (What It Must Be Like)”, another single, presents the voice of Van etten with few variations. The early release of the song was important to prevent shock fans with what would come on the album.

“Fading Beauty”, in a way, the solo compositions of Sharon. Compared to the previous tracks, this has a touch of delicacy conferred by the piano. Ending the first official contract of the Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory“I Want You here” crown the project with drama. Although the last two songs detach from the rest of the album, The Attachment Theory He was able to print his digital on the sound that no longer belongs to the author of “Seventeen” anymore.

The band’s debut album stands out in the discography of Sharon because it investigates the dark that already existed in his work. With one of the best and most distinct vocals of current music, the singer delivered her organicity to the electronic sound in a way that only Devra hoff, Teeny Lieberson and Jorge Balbi They could convince her. Probably, Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory It is enough for fans to get attached and close to the group’s next movement.

Now, all that’s left are to announce a show in Brazil.
