Watch Sharon Van Etten’s Dizzying ‘Leonard’ Video

Photo: Dusdin Condren

In her newest video, Sharon Van Etten keeps moving. The Sam Zimman-directed clip for “Leonard,” off her recent LP Tramp, finds the viewer in the passenger seat as we zoom through what looks like the streets of southern California, only doubled, then quadrupled in a mirror. Funny, she never mentioned to SPIN that kaleidoscopes were one of her favorite things. “Leonard” is a simple non-narrative, yet it’s as wholly pleasant as Tramp is. We promise, this will be a soothing three-minute, 46-second break from the day’s stationary, gravity-bound reality.
