WE TOLD YOU Sharon Van Etten could be something special! After her album Epic, she seemed poised to deliver an exceptional record, and she's done just that with Tramp. We weren't the only ones who thought Van Etten could deliver the goods. The National's Dessner brothers jumped at the chance to work with her; Aaron produces and Bryce plays on the record. Zach Condon of Beirut, and members of The Walkmen and Wye Oak, also appear.
Despite all the star power, the real star of the record is Van Etten, with her brooding voice and subtly infectious songwriting.
