Writing and recording in total collaboration with her band for the first time, Van Etten finds the freedom that comes by letting go. The result of that liberation is an exhilarating new dimension of sound and songwriting. The themes are timeless, classic Sharon \u2013 life and living, love and being loved \u2013 but the sounds are new, wholly realized, and sharp as glass.\r\n\r\nReflecting on this new artistic frame of mind, Van Etten muses:\r\n\r\n\"Sometimes it's exciting, sometimes it's scary, sometimes you feel stuck. It's like every day feels a little different \u2013 just being at peace with whatever you're feeling and whoever you are and how you relate to people in that moment. If I can just keep a sense of openness while knowing that my feelings change every day, that is all I can do right now. That and try to be the best person I can be while letting other people be who they are and not taking it personally and just being. I'm not there, but I'm trying to be there every day.\"\r\n\r\nSharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory is a quantum leap in that direction.\r\n\r\n\u2014 Lol Tolhurst","photo":"","instagram":"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sharonvanhalen","facebook":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SharonVanEtten","tiktok":"","youtube":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCwEnzWBInTXSrXdZFRfrnBA","spotify":"","deezer":"","site_web":""},{"nom":"Angie McMahon","horaire":"19:50:00","contenu":"When nothing was going right, Angie McMahon started staring at the sky. Every day, she would drag her mattress into her front yard, put a cold washer on her face and lay there looking up; not moving, just observing. Lately she had been feeling that her life had fallen apart, that her body was shutting down, that she had to relinquish the illusion she had any real control over anything.\r\n\r\nBut above her, murmurations of birds would gather every afternoon, changing form \u2013 one moment a fish, the next a wave. Forced by a bout of illness to slow down and tune in, McMahon would watch the birds every day, noticing the cycles of nature that she hadn\u2019t stopped to see before. As they morphed and swelled, left and returned, the birds began to reflect the things she\u2019d been learning about life \u2013 that everything can and will change, and the only constant is reinvention, rebirth, reconfiguration.\r\n\r\n\u201cIt was a zoom out,\u201d McMahon says. \u201cMy life just felt like it was really throwing me and going very badly. But the sky and the water, they were still very constant, and very balancing. I found so much solace in that.\u201d\r\n\r\nThat truth and the other quiet revelations Angie McMahon had about life, herself and the universe over a tough but transformative few years have been poured into her new album, Light, Dark, Light Again. It is a record about going to the darkest places inside yourself, facing the fear and finding it can be a portal to something bigger and better. Light, Dark, Light Again examines McMahon\u2019s relationship with self and the journey to becoming okay with whoever she is and whatever the future holds. It captures coming undone then healing slowly and strangely; the roots that grow around fractures and failures, creating new foundations and letting the light in.\r\n\r\nWhile McMahon\u2019s acclaimed 2019 debut album was stripped-back and soft, for Light, Dark, Light Again she wanted to see how big she could take her sound. Serving as the album\u2019s co- producer, McMahon steered its sonics from start to finish. The vision was to craft songs that were warm, cosmic and vast \u2013 that captured, variously, the feeling of being trapped underwater, the moment where the endorphins kick in as you\u2019re running up a hill, or standing on a canyon and screaming into the wind. But McMahon also wanted to retain the intimacy of the way many of the songs were first written \u2013 alone in her bedroom, as home demos that were shared with friends over two largely isolated years.\r\n\r\nA deeply considered work, Light, Dark, Light Again was recorded slowly and purposefully across another year between McMahon\u2019s home city of Melbourne, regional Victoria and the North Carolina town of Durham. In the latter \u2013 where the majority of the album\u2019s tracks came together \u2013 McMahon worked alongside esteemed Grammy-nominated producer and songwriter Brad Cook, who has previously produced for the likes of Bon Iver, Waxahatchee, Kevin Morby and Snail Mail. Completing the studio band was Bon Iver drummer Matt McCaughan, Canadian singer-songwriter Leif Vollebekk and Megafaun musician Phil Cook, and the chance to travel abroad and collaborate with artists whose work she so admires felt like a dream come true for McMahon. She also found being free from a set timeline, able to go slow and trust the timing of the universe was a liberator \u2013 getting to take her songs across the world and create with friends new and old helped make them more expansive, more real and more resonant.\r\n\r\nSome songs were made grand and immense with the help of McMahon\u2019s live band and choirs of voices that sparkle like guardian angels. But McMahon crafted others alone by tinkering with production \u2013 using tools like vocal stacks to evoke the sound of voices in your head that get so loud you can\u2019t ignore them anymore, or taking field recordings to sprinkle in echoes of the natural world. Across its 13 tracks, Light, Dark, Light Again radiates the journey through uncharted waters McMahon went on during the past few years, and the small but powerful ways she learned to come back to herself and tune into her body when her mind was paralysed: movement, meditation, breathwork and immersing herself in nature.\r\n\r\nWork on Light, Dark, Light Again began three years ago, as McMahon went through intense personal reckonings: relationship shifts, private breakdowns and core-shaking revelations about herself. Lead single Saturn Returning documents the fire she walked through, and the hope, relief and joy that lay on the other side of surrender. It is a song informed by McMahon\u2019s own Saturn return, the astrological transit that wreaks major life changes and forces intense growth. McMahon\u2019s song is written as a note-to-self about the importance of forgiveness, self- compassion, letting go and accepting that she doesn\u2019t know everything yet. \u201cI\u2019m gonna love every inch of this body \/ Just wanna be wide awake when I\u2019m forty!\u201d she cries, at once a refusal to fade away with age in an industry that fetishes youth, and a promise to always be present \u2013 not hiding, not pretending, not letting fear drive the car.\r\n\r\nThe quiet poetry of McMahon\u2019s lyrics will serve as a buoy to anyone facing their own fear, empowering and encouraging them to go forward. Fireball Whiskey and Fish excavate relationship breaks and find McMahon ready to accept that all things eventually end. On the Springsteen-inspired Letting Go, she celebrates release, letting things be, and knowing that closing some doors means opening others. (\u201cIt\u2019s okay\/ make mistakes,\u201d McMahon yells in its final moments, a self-help affirmation transposed to song). Divine Fault Line, co-written with singer-songwriter Emma Louise in Los Angeles, marks an acceptance that hope and moving forward comes from first feeling broken and at rock bottom. Mother Nature \u2013 the song written after those weeks McMahon spent laying in her front yard, watching the birds above her house, and realising that there was a lot to understand and appreciate from observing nature \u2013 became a climate protest track of sorts, rumbling with rage, power and reverence for the earth. The song became a receptacle for a lot of emotions and intensity, as McMahon used it to process how overwhelmed she feels by the magnitude of the climate crisis. But McMahon \u2013 who has long used her platform to amplify voices and push for progress \u2013 hopes it will provoke a necessary fury about the state of our planet.\r\n\r\nBlack Eye acknowledges personal failings and the hard times, Staying Down Low addresses the fierce tentacles of depression, and Serotonin documents the uphill battle of weening off antidepressants and feeling hopeful again. Music\u2019s Coming In celebrates breaking through the things that block us, and features a choir of Melbourne-based musicians in McMahon\u2019s community: Ruby Gill, Olivia Hally, Tori Zietsch, Jess Ellwood, Georgia Knight and Hannah McKittrick. Exploding is McMahon\u2019s pledge to step into the bravest version of herself, always being as expressive, real and authentic as she can. On I Am Already Enough, co-written with Meg Duffy of Hand Habits, McMahon wanted to create a call-to-arms that she could scream out on stage both for herself and for other people, encouraging a rebellion against the pervasive societal idea fuelled by marketing machines that we are not good enough as we are.\r\n\r\n\u201cI didn't know then that out of ash and destruction the ground will grow things,\u201d McMahon sings on the album\u2019s powerful closing note, Making It Through. \u201cTime is supposed to run out \/ Sun is supposed to go down \/ Rise, fall, rise \/ Life, death, life again \/ Day, night, day again \/ Light, dark, light again\u201d. That lyric, which became the album\u2019s title, felt like the perfect encapsulation of everything she had learned throughout her Saturn return: that everything will be okay because everything is meant to change, and everything is meant to die, and there is meant to be darkness along with the light. Pain is inevitable, happiness will always return, and you can trust that the ebbs and flows of life will balance themselves out in time. The wave will crash, break and recede. The birds will leave, return and reform.\r\n\r\n\u201cI wanted to celebrate that I wasn't resisting change anymore,\u201d McMahon says. \u201cAnd I wasn't trying to cling to things the way that I used to, but rather trust in natural cycles and accept that everything is temporary in life and everything is uncertain. And if I need something to be certain about, it's that cycle \u2013 that there is life and death and life again, there's light then dark then light again.\u201d\r\n\r\nWords: Katie Cunningham","photo":2378,"instagram":"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/angiemcmahon\/","facebook":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/angiemcmahonmusic","tiktok":"","youtube":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@angiemcmahon","spotify":"","deezer":"","site_web":""}],"lien_ticket_wait":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>SHARON VAN ETTEN + ANGIE MCMAHON &#8226;
