Sharon Van Etten’s new “Magic Chords” video was a fine way to revisit her Februrary LP, Tramp, but today brings an even better reminder: “Tell Me,” a 2012 live favorite now in official demo form to preview the record’s deluxe edition arriving on November 13th via Jagjaguwar. The new double-disc features the original album in full along with demo recordings of each song, including this previously unreleased bonus track. Note the self-portrait drawing covering the clip, as it’s also a glimpse at the expanded release’s hand-crafted artwork and liner notes culled from SVE’s journals. A gorgeous and moving take, hear solo-acoustic “Tell Me” above.
