Sharon Van Etten’s “Your Love Is Killing Me” Debuts

SHARON VAN ETTEN PRESENTS “YOUR LOVE IS KILLING ME” VIDEO, DIRECTED BY SEAN DURKIN AND FEATURING CARLA JURI

Sharon Van Etten’s “Your Love Is Killing Me,” has been recognized as one of 2014’s most powerful songs by publications including Pitchfork, who named it a “Best New Track,” Rolling Stone, where Rob Sheffield named it his #3 “Top Song of 2014 So Far,” Esquire, NYLON, Vulture, SPIN, Stereogum, and many others. Today, Sharon presents the long-awaited video for the Are We There standout, directed by Sean Durkin (“Martha Marcy May Marlene”) and starring Carla Juri (“Wetlands”). More remindful of a short film than your typical music video, Durkin’s work is a striking visual accompaniment to one of the best songs of 2014.

Upon completing her second North American tour in support of Are We There and before heading overseas for another month, Sharon is announcing an Australian and New Zealand tour, two shows in Tokyo and Mexico, and select UK/European dates, as well as a special Brooklyn show at Warsaw on Thursday, February 19th with Leon Bridges.

“[Sean Durkin has] made another detour and has shot a music video, it’s a must watch . . . Just like the song, the video is straightforward, but the execution is direct, powerful and moving.” – Indiewire’s The Playlist

WHAT’S BEEN SAID ABOUT “YOUR LOVE IS KILLING ME”:

“On ‘Your Love is Killing Me’, her singing is so tremendously powerful it trembles at the edge of intelligibility. . . It is, frankly, knee-buckling. The ability of a human voice to induce this weakness is one of the most profound and mysterious things music can do.” – Pitchfork [Best New Track]

“‘Your Love Is Killing Me’ is the torch ballad that kills me on Are We There, her powerful (and scary) (and funny) (and sad) (but mostly scary) break-up album, like Elvis Costello’s ‘I Want You’ stretched to 47 minutes.” – Rolling Stone [#3 in Rob Sheffield’s Top 25 Songs of 2014 So Far”]

“It’s a cinematic, slow-building pocket epic, and SVE sings the s**t out of it.” — Stereogum

“First thing we’ve heard in 14 years to match the ransacked passion of PJ Harvey’s transplanted opus, Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea. There aren’t enough shivers.” – SPIN [#33 in The 57 Best Songs of 2014 (So Far)]
