REMIND ME TOMORROW JAGJAGUWAR
New Jersey’s Sharon Van Etten appeared an artist endlessly searching on 2012’s Tramp and sublime follow-up Are We There (2014). Those sparse records were characterised by mournful piano compositions, jagged alt-rock guitar adornments and Van Etten’s ghostly harmonies and towering, defiant vibrato. They were two of the finest albums to emerge from the Big Apple’s prolific indie scene in the period – lovelorn, direct and selfprobing collections of truly brilliant cathartic writing.
