ANGEL OLSEN BURN YOUR FIRE FOR NO WITNESS

Many of the superlatives describing Angel Olsen refer to how seemingly little it takes for her to leave an audience speechless, even spellbound. But Olsen has never been as timid as those descriptors imply, and the noisy, fiery hints in her earlier work find a fuller expression on her newest LP, Burn Your Fire for No Witness . Here, Olsen sings with full-throated exultation, admonition, and bold, expressive melody. Also, with the help of producer John Congleton, her Unfucktheworld music now crackles with a churning, rumbling low end and a brighter energy. Forgiven/Forgotten Hi-Five White Fire Angel Olsen began singing as a young girl in St. Louis, where she explored the remarkable High & Wild range of her voice and the places it could take her songwriting. Her self-released debut EP, Lights Out Strange Cacti , belied both that early period of discovery and her Midwestern roots. Cautious Stars and homespun on the one hand, the EP transported us to a mystical, unrecognizable world on Iota the other, and it garnered extensive praise for its enigmatic beauty. Olsen then went further on Dance Slow Decades Half Way Home , her first full-length (released on Bathetic Records), which mined Enemy Windows essential themes while showcasing a more developed voice. Olsen dared to be more personal.

CATALOG #: JAG244 After extensive touring, Olsen eventually settled for a time in ’s Logan Square RELEASE DATE : FEBRUARY 18, 2014 neighborhood, where she created "a collection of songs grown in a year of heartbreak, travel, DISCOUNT: 5% (STANDARD) THROUGH 2 and transformation."
