Sharon Van Etten :: The Aquarium Drunkard Interview


 Nice interview with the awesome Sharon Van Etten over at Aquarium Drunkard this morning . . . . . 


Sharon Van Etten has been in near constant motion since she emerged in 2009 as one of indie rock’s most distinctive and lovely voices. Over the last 13 years, she has formed bands, explored rock and electronic sounds and written some of popular music’s most wrenching, self-revealing songs. In 2016, she had a minor but memorable role in the Netflix series the OA, lending her unearthly voice to the show’s plotline about death and rebirth. That same year, she got married and got pregnant with her first child, but family life has, if anything, centered her and made her better at what she does. She’s become more visible and more of a force with every album she’s released. In 2021, some of the music industry’s heaviest hitters—including Lucinda Williams and Fiona Apple—paid tribute to her songwriting skills, reinterpreting the ten songs from her 2010 album Epic.
