Sharon Van Etten's New Hat


Sharon Van Etten's new hat is prominently displayed in the brand-new video for her brand-new song (released today!), Beaten Down.  As hats go, it's definitely of the floppy-brim variety, but like everything else she does, such as her stint as Rachel in The OA, Van Etten pulls it off flawlessly.

Seriously, though, it's a gorgeous new song, calmer and more serene than much of her last LP, Remind Me Tomorrow, but with an introspective and somber tone.  Like on Remind Me Tomorrow, she continues to sing over keyboards and tastefully arranged synth, rather than the strummed guitars of her folk-rock origins.

Van Etten's current tour will bring her to Atlanta's Variety Playhouse on April 28.
