Sharon Van Etten-Serpents

Here’s another song by a SVE, quite different from the one I posted earlier Love More. While that one was a slow acoustic meditation on a severely fractured relationship, this is all anger-and it’s better.

Even though the song is really well written, I think the reason this is so good is the band she’s got behind her. Twin guitars from the National’s Bryce And Aaron Dessner, and Matt Barrick, drummer from the Walkmen. That guy is a really valuable asset, he keeps everything going fast and angry with those little fills, yet keeps a perfect beat.

But in the end, it is still this girl that’s amazing.
