After collaborating on “Boardwalk Empire” with producer Stewart Lerman, Van Etten recorded the LP in his studio in her home state of New Jersey.

Van Etten, who self-produced the album, tells NME, “My writing’s getting better and the arrangements are getting weirder, in a good way.”

Fans who pre-order a physical copy of the album (either on vinyl or CD) will receive three digital download codes, starting with the track “Taking Chances” March 5. Are We There’s second single will be available April 30 and you’ll get a download of the full album two weeks before the release date on May 12.

A limited edition bundle is for sale featuring both the vinyl and a CD along with a 7” demo of “Taking Chances,” a signed 5X7” print of the album cover, a 17X22” poster and the three digital download codes.

The tour begins a few weeks before Are We There’s official release date with a May 8 gig in Northhampton, Mass.
