Sharon Van Etten: “Idiot Box”

A collab joint creates an alt folk popper. Sharon Van Etten frames this album as a total commitment to the concept of collaboration. Not just a Sharon Joint, in other words. Sharing the creative load can be a liberating moment, and it can open new doors that seemed previously closed or off limits. Our highlighted track “Idiot Box” is an alt rock sparkler with steady build and a gnarly refrain. “Always gets to me…” Off Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory. Via Jagjaguwar.
