Sharon Van Etten Announces Sixth Album ‘We’ve Been Going About This All Wrong’ Out May 6th

Today, Sharon Van Etten has announced her sixth studio album, We’ve Been Going About This All Wrong, out May 6th on Jagjaguwar. Sharon Van Etten has always been the kind of artist who helps people make sense of the world around them, and We’ve Been Going About This All Wrong concerns itself with the questions we ask ourselves when we think the world – or at least, our world – might be ending. Have we loved as well as we could? Did we try hard enough? How do we protect the things most precious to us from destructive forces beyond our control? And how do we salvage something worthwhile when it seems all is lost? In considering these questions and her own vulnerability in the face of them, Van Etten has created a stunning meditation on how life’s changes can be both terrifying and transformative. We’ve Been Going About This All Wrong articulates the beauty and power that can be rescued from our wreckages.

Later this month, Van Etten will perform a string of southern dates with support from Mia Joy before embarking on her European Darkness Fades Tour, followed by The Wild Hearts Tour with Angel Olsen, Julien Baker, and Spencer.. Second shows on The Wild Hearts Tour have been added at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, Toronto’s Massey Hall and Central Park SummerStage in New York.
