Sharon Van Etten: Letter (Little Scream)

Sharon Van Etten Letter Little ScreamSomehow, amid talk of Sharon Van Etten’s Nick Cave cover this winter, her take on an unreleased Little Scream song flew under the radar. Live music footage pioneers La Blogothèque caught the moment backstage at MusicNow, where SVE performed another notable cover in 2011, and both are well-worth revisiting. In addition to Van Etten’s lovely unplugged vision, this tune brings promise to future releases from Laurel Sprengelmeyer’s Little Scream project, whose Richard Reed Parry-co-produced debut helped bring them aboard our inaugural SXSW show. Watch an introduction to “Letter” above.
