Dec 21, 2010Epic might be a transitional work, but it finds Van Etten moving toward a strong, exciting sound.
-
Tipping just over the 30-minute mark, Epic is a beautifully formed, sonically engaging work.
-
Because I Was In Love was a heartfelt, strong introduction to a powerful new voice, but Epic is a knockout front to back, and clear cut evidence that we have a powerful and lasting voice on our hands.
-
Boasting a mere seven songs, Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Sharon Van Etten's sophomore effort hardly lives up to the lofty promise of its name, but where Epic fails to deliver in size, it more than makes up for in sound.
-
Dec 21, 2010The songs are still simple, but they're delivered with a sophistication only hinted at on her debut.
-
Dec 23, 2010Epic pulls from more corners. The voice at the center isn't arresting, exactly, but in the end that's unimportant. You'll want to stay.
-
As an album, Epic is disjointed in places, but as a collection of songs it's strong enough.

May 10, 2022Very Good! The only single thing that's lacking here is more music! It's too short, but, as almost everything Van Etten touches, it's true art.
