Sharon Van Etten’s very first album in five years starts sluggish as well as quiet.  get distracted as well as you may miss the sensitivity of the words, “We held hands as we stated goodbye…”.  however it’s not a lament—it is an adult recognition of the sweetness inherent in moving on.  “Don’t look back my dear.  just state you tried,” she states on the next song. even the album title recognizes that we never truly leave the past behind.  It accumulates as well as we must discover temporary break or we will be engulfed by it—like the bit kid on the cover, playing among the strewn clothes of a neglectful parent.

This is a truly lovely as well as haunting record, as well as the very first candidate for finest of 2019.
