Sharon Van Etten is playing with Julien Baker and Angel Olsen at Marymoor Park on Wednesday, August 3.
According to Van Etten, “Porta” was written “at one of my lowest lows.

Yorke lacks formal musical training, in an interview, he explained, 'The running joke when we were in the studios was, 'Just blow.

Soak, the alias of musician Bridie Monds-Watson, said their new album, ‘If I Never Know You Like This Again’, will be released on May 20. You can pre-order it here: soakmusic.bandcamp.com.
Monds-Watson said the new album focuses on the idea of identity. They said: “I hate the idea of getting older and forgetting, or having a family and not being able to perfectly explain a memory or a feeling. I always want to remember exactly how I felt at a certain moment.
“This record is the most accurate picture of me. I felt no pressure at all, it was almost like I was ranting as I was writing.
“When I was looking to the past, it was as though I had a big lottery ball of all my recent memories and I would just randomly select which one I wanted to unpack. It helped me to process my past.”
