DOWNLOAD: Sharon Van Etten - I Wish I Knew

If a song could sound diaphanous, this would be the one. Sharon’s silky, melancholy vocals weep over loose acoustic strumming, imperfect yet immaculate, lonesome yet soothing. “I Wish I Knew” effortlessly whisks you away from the big city onto an austere, Icelandic plain, barren of human hullabaloo. On Van Etten? The Bushwick-based songwriter has played with Wildbirds and Peacedrums and Luke Temple, performed at CMJ, and sung in Benjamin Anthony Robinson’s new record (arranged by TV on The Radio member and Brooklyn luminary Kyp Malone). We recommend to intake her brand of “sad prairie folk music” whenever you need a humbling escape.

Sounds Like: Wildbirds and Peacedrums, Aimee Mann, Jaymay, Jolie Holland
