1. pitchfork: Sharon Van Etten’s stark stunner “Give Out” is our latest Best New Track. Photo by Dusdin Condren. “For those who seek identity in song lyrics, Van Etten’s confounding self-therapy can be a strange sort of salvation, as she grapples with having the confidence and self-respect to change. Despite Tramp’s sophisticated production, Van Etten’s poignancy is still her strongest asset, which is apparent in the song’s  lyrical centerpiece: “You’re the reason why I’ll move to the city, you’re / Why I’ll need to leave.” It makes “Give Out” a song that is exhausting in the most gratifying way.” Song obsessed.
