Album review
Sharon Van Etten and her band the Attachment Theory have shared a new single from their upcoming self-titled album. ‘Southern Life (What It Must Be Like)’ follows lead single ‘Afterlife’. Check out its Ethan Dawes-directed video below.
‘Southern Life’ is about “trying to understand people with very different perspectives and backgrounds, while also trying to be compassionate towards our past, present, and future selves,” according to Van Etten. “After days of rehearsing the songs from the album and how to execute them live, I was getting tired of hearing myself. I didn’t want to over rehearse the songs to death. And so, for the first time ever, I asked if the band just wanted to “jam,” play without it having to be something, to clear our heads.”
