New Sharon van Etten album coming


On the seventh of February Sharon van Etten will release her new album. It will be called Tramp and it will be released by Jagjaguwar. The LP was recorded with Aaron Dessner in his studio, Dessner being in the band The National with whom she has a history of collaboration. Dessner is not the only one contributing however, with Zach Condon, Julianna Barwick, and Matt Barrick amongst the people lending their talents to the album. The album will consist of twelve tracks, including songs called ‘Serpents’, ‘Joke or a Lie’, and ‘Magic Chords’.

No, you cannot enter this cave, only one can, namely he who can play the magic chords! Blasted, Gert Dubossy thought, why is it always so hard to get a magic lamp? He had already tried one cave that was tiger shaped, and for that he needed a commoner, who naturally stole the lamp from him as soon as he got out of the cave. No one can be trusted. But okay, Magic Chords then, what would a cave want to hear? Regardless of that, I cannot play anyway. And so Dubossy started his quest for the best  sitar player in Arabia. Which wasn’t easy, for Arabia was renowned then for a lack of skillful teachers, plus it is hard to sound like Clapton without an electric guitar and the right amps. But lo, the lady from the flowershop told Dubossy about a talented sitar player on the corner of 42nd and Denden Plaza. So Dubossy went there, and from far away he could hear beautiful sitar music. Dubossy was filled with joy, but as soon as he opened the door he saw that, playing the sitar, was a young boy with old, ripped trousers and nothing over his toned upper body. Oh no, not another commoner unable to buy clothing, Dubossy thought, the last one stole my lamp! And so, to be on the safe side, he found other uses for the young man non-lamp related.
