Sharon Van Etten and Daniel Knox at Cactus Club
Sharon Van Etten released Because I Was In Love to great acclaim in 2009, though it was her guest turn on The Antlers’ year-end critic’s favorite Hospice that got her the most attention last year. That should change in ’10, since Because I Was In Love has the makings of a hit so long as people get the chance to hear it. Van Etten’s gorgeously mournful vocals and bedroom-intimate recording aesthetic makes comparisons to Feist and Cat Power a little too easy, though quietly melodic ballads like “For You” and “Much More Than That” would fit just as well in Gap commercials or your girlfriend’s favorite mix-tape.
