Sharon Van Etten signs to Jagjaguwar

One of Everybody Taste's favorite artists, Sharon Van Etten, has signed to Jagjaguwar where she will be releasing her forthcoming third LP in 2012 with help from The National's Aaron Dessner. Apparently everyone from your average music fan and blog to indie rock elite like TV On The Radio's Kyp Malone have fully embraced and fallen for Van Etten's stirring, emotive, and incredibly personal brand of musical storytelling. I still remember the first time I heard Van Etten's voice: it was on ET's favorite album of 2009, Survival by Forest Fire—a masterful record that's as brilliant today as it was when it first came out in 2008. Below, check out her turn on lead vocals with Forest Fire via the smoldering "Sunshine City." (via)
