Record Review / Sharon Van Etten

There are better singers and songwriters making the rounds, but few can sell those ineffable feelings of loneliness, heartbreak, and enervation on tape as well as Sharon Van Etten. No wonder Cat Power keeps coming up as an easy point of reference—her wounded, contralto croak sounds as natural to soar into a breathtaking wordless moan as it does in collapsing on itself. It makes you believe, which after fifty years of folk purity and a decade or so of indie rock car commercials is no small thing.
