The Top 30 Albums Of 2019 (So Far): Sharon Van Etten – 'Remind Me Tomorrow'

"She contemplates life and love and the accompanying kaleidoscope of emotions." – Guido Farnell

Remind Me Tomorrow careens from the almost-galloping pace of songs like Comeback Kid or the third-verse howl of single Seventeen, to more restrained and almost crooning tracks like Malibu or I Told You Everything. 

Van Etten gravitated towards synths on this record, thanks in part to indie archetype Michael Cera – they shared a practice space – which sees her formerly guitar-based music open up to new sonic textures. Yet the album remains anchored by Van Etten’s vulnerable, honest and good-humoured lyricism, which while haunted by a recurring “shadow”, glows with the loving perspective of a new mother.
