Epic by Sharon Van Etten
Epic is an album by Sharon Van Etten, released in 2010. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “One Day”, on 2 lists with a best position of #66.
Epic, Sharon Van Etten's second album, came out on Ba Da Bing on September 21, 2010, and for all the grandeur of the title it's a lean record, recorded and mixed inside 11 days at Miner Street Recordings in Philadelphia with producer Brian McTear. The New Jersey songwriter's folk roots still show, but the arrangements swell toward indie rock, and her voice, bruised and steady, carries songs that feel like pages torn out of a diary.
Guests fill out the sound: Cat Martino, Meg Baird, Jessica Larrabee and Andy LaPlant of She Keeps Bees, and David Hartley of the War on Drugs all turn up. "Love More", the closer, started life as a session for Weathervane Music's Shaking Through video series, and "One Day" rolls along with quiet resolve. The album earned a tenth-anniversary reissue in 2021, complete with a song-by-song covers album by other artists.
