Listen to Shamir’s take on “Dsharpg” below.

“I was drawn to Shamir’s music by the immediate authenticity and originality of his voice and instrumentation choices,” Van Etten said in a statement. “It felt simultaneously throwback and very here and now. So many genres melting into one another, I couldn’t peg it and I loved every minute of the wild ride. Not to mention that his vocal range is from another universe and his arrangements are dark and stormy. Self admittedly, I have a harder time keeping up with music today, but Shamir’s music stands out as truly original and a force to be reckoned with in his reimagining of a time where I grew up fondly, angsty and dreaming.”

Earlier this year, Shamir shared the music video for “Diet,” from his self-titled 2020 album. Read Pitchfork’s “The 100 Best Songs of 2020,” featuring “On My Own” at No. 33.
