Lucinda Williams, known for her introspective and solitary songwriting, ventures into a new musical realm with her band, 'The Attachment Theory.' The album showcases a more groove-oriented sound, driven by collaboration and electronic influences. While maintaining her signature emotional intensity, Williams explores themes of modern life, technology addiction, and the complexities of relationships.
isn’t the kind of songwriter who blends into a group. She’s always had an uncanny knack for making you feel utterly alone in the dark with her songs, even when you’re hearing them in broad daylight or singing them with a crowd. Who else would begin an album with the line “Sitting at the bar, I told you everything,” then follow it with “You said, ‘Holy shit’”? Ever since her earliest indie-folk days, she’s known how to turn any room into the loneliest place on earth.
So it’s a bold move for her to try a different musical role: one of the band. She even names the album after her new quartet,. It’s her most groove-oriented music, the first time she’s composed by jamming with other musicians. It hits hard from the opening “Live Forever,” with a pounding synth-pop pulse as she pleads, over and over, “Who wants to live forever?” Yet it’s got the emotionally ferocious power that Van Etten has always delivered, even when it was just her and an acoustic guitar.
Collaboration like this doesn’t come easy to a confessional artist so at home in solitude. “I tend to write from a therapeutic place,” Van Etten told Rolling Stone in 2022. “Sometimes the only way I can really get through a moment is, I’ll go into a room, I’ll hit ‘record,’ and I’ll get it out.”, the album where she translated her cathartic storytelling into giant rock bombast, without losing the intimate force of her voice.
All over the album, Van Etten sounds rejuvenated by the sense of taking new risks and chasing new sonic adventures, which comes through in the tunes. “Trouble” sums it up in a languid groove somewhere between Fleetwood Mac and Talk Talk. She contemplates the danger of taking a romantic plunge, savoring “all the trouble I got you in.” As she sings, “All these stories that I can’t tell/ Watered-down versions of my own hell.
