Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory have shared their new single 'Southern Life (What It Must Be Like)'

Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory have announced details of their self-titled debut album, alongside sharing new single 'Southern Life (What It Must Be Like)'.

The track arrives as the second preview of their forthcoming self-titled record, set for release on 7th February via Jagjaguwar, following previous single 'Afterlife'.

"'Southern Life (What It Must Be Like)' is about trying to understand people with very different perspectives and backgrounds, while also trying to be compassionate towards our past, present, and future selves," Van Etten explains.

The song emerged during rehearsals in Yucca Valley. "After days of rehearsing the songs from the album and how to execute them live, I was getting tired of hearing myself. I didn't want to over rehearse the songs to death. And so, for the first time ever, I asked if the band just wanted to 'jam,' play without it having to be something, to clear our heads."

The album was recorded at London's The Church with producer Marta Salogni and marks Van Etten's first full collaboration with her band - Jorge Balbi (drums, machines), Devra Hoff (bass, vocals), and Teeny Lieberson (synth, piano, guitar, vocals).
