Sharon Van Etten: "For You" (Video)

1:58 p.m. · May 14, 2009 · by Andrew Winistorfer

Sharon Van Etten's music is sparse, acoustic, and often lo-fi, so this sparse black and white clip for "For You" fits her perfectly. "For You" features a lot of close-ups on Van Etten as she sits around her apartment, smoking, drinking coffee, and relaxing. It's an appropriately haunting video for a haunting song. Directed by Michael Palmieri. 

Van Etten's Because I Was in Love is due out on May 26 via Language of Stone. [Pitchfork]
