“Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory”
(Jagjaguwar)
Heavenly gothic bionic burlesque populated in theatrical casualties, SVE&TAT’s cathartic martyrs march to smoldering synth-pop dream-police, mustering tough facades around demanding mechanics. The self-titled debut’s vexing and perplexing messages hold dark charms where spiritual thirsts cohabitate alongside armor-plated cravings. Bold and inviting, mired in remote-controlled holding-patterns, Van Etten’s arresting phantasms lift mantras into anthems, sheltering sweltering hellscapes in unsettling metaphysics.
The instrumentation is excellent. She has a Paula Cole feeling.
