Sharon Van Etten - I'm Giving Up On You

I'm Giving Up On You by Sharon Van Etten

3...according to our on Thu 11 Nov, 2010.

Oh my word she sounds like Cat Power, good Cat Power, 'Moonpix' era Cat Power not the 'New York, New York, travesty. It also recalls 'Moonpix' simple arrangements, just a guitar, an organ and a voice. A slow burning gem - lovely. Another name that springs to mind is Diane Cluck and weirdly today's other impressive chanteuse Linda Perhans also recalls. The B side is slightly chirpier but still moves at a snails pace, its melody unfurling as the track progresses. Fairly impressive stuff, and as Phil says, it just gets under your skin.

· After releasing her critically acclaimed debut
‘Because I Was In Love’, Sharon Van Etten has
been hard at work; singing on The Antlers’ album
‘Hospice’ and performing at the Pitchfork Music
Festival, as well as collaborating live with Bon Iver
and The National.

· Due to all of this, Van Etten signed to Ba Da Bing
(Beirut, Comets On Fire) for her sophomore album
‘Epic’.

· In addition, Van Etten found time to record two
exclusive songs for this 7” to be released by
Poyvinyl.

· Both songs were recorded by Greg Weeks (Espers)
at Hexham Head Studio (Marisa Nadler, Bonnie
Prince Billy).

· Limited edition of 500 on black vinyl. Vinyl includes
digital download code.
