Tramp, Sharon Van Etten's third album, came out on Jagjaguwar on February 7, 2012, and it's the record where the New Jersey singer-songwriter surrounded herself with company. Aaron Dessner produced it and lent her his studio, and a crowd of friends came through: Zach Condon, Jenn Wasner of Wye Oak, Julianna Barwick, Matt Barrick of the Walkmen and Thomas Bartlett.

For all that company, the songs stay intensely personal, and Van Etten's voice carries the weight, aching one minute and steely the next. "Serpents", the first single, is the hardest hitter, a coiled, churning rocker with Aaron and Bryce Dessner, Barwick, Wasner and Bartlett along for the ride. It followed Epic and set the stage for Are We There.
