Sharon Van Etten - Are We There

Sharon Van Etten released her fourth record in 2014. 'Are We There' is a work of exceptional intimacy, co-produced with 2x Grammy winner Stewart Lerman. The lore of the recording sessions is: Thinking she was laying down pre-production sketches for Lerman, Van Etten record two versions of each song – one with the band and another playing every instrument herself - but in fact he was recording final takes and capturing her spontaneous energy. “That record is really half the band and half her,” he says. “And I don’t think you could tell which is which. She’s a force of nature.”

Heavyweight vinyl produced by Jagjaguwar in 2014. Gatefold sleeve with download.
