If it feels like just last week that we were lamenting the lack of new material coming from Sharon Van Etten’s side of things then, well, that’s because it was. And while the below remaster of I Wish I Knew is anything but, it serves as another startling reminder of the New Jersey songwriter’s nonpareil prowess when it comes to conjuring some of the most affecting, magical songs imaginable.

(It Was) Because I Was In Love is available from November 17th via Sharon’s online shop.
