Sharon Van Etten's new album, Tramp, is sure to be a breakthrough album for her, as she's been poised for a breakthrough for a while, and this album has assists from Wye Oak, the National, and Beirut. The album's first single has leaked, and you can expect Sharon Van Etten love to reach a fever pitch: It's called "Serpents," and it bolsters Van Etten's delicate songwriting with widescreen instrumentation and guest vocals from Wye Oak's Jenn Wasner. Great stuff here. Listen over at Pitchfork.
Tramp is due out on Feb. 7.
