New York musician Sharon Van Etten has announced a new EP, ‘I Don’t Want To Let You Down’. The five-track EP is pencilled in for release on June 8th via Jagjaguwar. Van Etten previously gave the title track its first airing on Ellen back in January, and it’ll mark her first release since her fourth studio album ‘Are We There’ which came out in 2014.
