World Cafe Playlist for 04/11/2025

Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory joins host Stephen Kallao

Sharon Van Etten had had a streak of impressive solo records dating back to her debut, Because I Was in Love, but on her new album, the backing band became the band, period. They’re called The Attachment Theory and it’s the most collaborative record Van Etten’s made to date. Coming up, Sharon and bassist Devra Hoff join World Cafe to talk about taking a sonic trust fall and share live performances from their self-titled debut.

Listen to the session here.
