Tramp

Tramp is singer/songwriter Sharon Van Etten's third effort, and her debut offering for Jagjaguwar. Like Epic, its predecessor, the songwriter employs a full band. Tramp is so titled because during its recording, Van Etten was homeless, storing her possessions and crashing with friends for a few days or weeks at a time. The album was produced by the National's Aaron Dessner and recorded at his garage studio; he also plays slide guitar and bass. Other collaborators include the Walkmen's Matt Barrick (drums), Doveman's Thomas Bartlett (keys), Wye Oak's Jenn Wasner, and Julianna Barwick.
