Around a quarter of the album reaches these heights – see the swirling coda of ‘Home To Me’, on which she tackles the conflict between creativity and parenthood.

Although it lacks the immediacy of 2018’s hookier ‘Remind Me Tomorrow’, this unyielding record is, at times, a powerful reckoning with the age of uncertainty.”Last month, Van Etten appeared on the cover of NME and discussed her experience filming The OA, saying she felt like an “imposter” on set.The singer-songwriter played Rachel DeGrasso in the Netflix series created by Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij.
