We’ve barely begun wiping our eyes dry after spinning the 33-year olds critically acclaimed record Are We There for the millionth time, and now the jaw-dropping, gloomy folk rocker has delivered a brand new tune.
‘I Don’t Want To Let You Down’ takes off exactly where Van Etten finished with the track trudging around in the familiar downtrodden ground as her 2014 LP release, the musician making use of wavering guitars as her sullen, smokey vocals to deliver another morose, encompassing tune.
With Golden Plains just around the corner, Van Etten will be charming (and breaking) the hearts of punters at the glorious festival as well as a string of sideshows soon, where we’ll no doubt get to witness the new song live.
For now, you can dig the studio version of ‘I Don’t Want To Let You Down’ below:
