Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory have shared a new single.

Following Afterlife, Southern Life (What It Must Be Like) serves as the second preview of the singer-songwriter and her new band's self-titled debut album, which is due out on February 7 via Jagjaguwar.

The swirling synth-rock track was written by Etten and the band — Jorge Balbi, Devra Hoff and Teeny Lieberson — during tour rehearsals in the California desert at Gatos Trail recording studio in the Yucca Valley. The singer said the song is about, "trying to understand people with very different perspectives and backgrounds, while also trying to be compassionate towards our past, present, and future selves."

"After days of rehearsing the songs from the album and how to execute them live, I was getting tired of hearing myself," she added. "I didn’t want to over rehearse the songs to death. And so, for the first time ever, I asked if the band just wanted to ‘jam,’ play without it having to be something, to clear our heads."

Head below to view the song's accompanying video, directed by Ethan Dawes and filmed during the group's recent surprise gig at The Viper Room in Los Angeles.

The new music comes with details of a North American tour with Love Spells in the spring, following three dates in early February, with support from She Keeps Bees. Tickets go on sale at 10am local time next Friday (December 13). Head here for details.

Van Etten and band will also play three UK shows in March as part of a wider European tour with special guest Nabihah Iqbal. Tickets for those dates are on sale now.
