“Olsen creates a spirit of hard-won knowledge, the feeling of steadiness in a brutal world.” – Pitchfork
Singer-songwriter Angel Olsen delivers her vulnerable songs with a vintage country warble, the reckless energy of rock and roll, and the dramatism of an orchestra. Inspired by JJ Cale as much as Tammy Wynette, Olsen brings a bursting-at-the-seams verve to all of her work, whether she’s writing about transformative grief or the expansive power of new love. Rolling Stone raves that to hear Olsen sing is “like stumbling into an empty roadside bar and finding the greatest torch singer the world has ever forgotten.”
