I enjoyed Sharon Van Etten’s first CD, Tramp, but I enjoyed her new CD, Are We There even more. Sharon Van Etten’s music is usually classified as “indy” but the clever lyrics and catchy melodies strike me as unique in this homogenized music era. Listen to the sample below. If you like that, you’ll like the rest of the songs on Are We There. GRADE: B+
