angel olsen phases full album download What Your Favorite 2017 Album Says About You. Inspired by Flavorwire’s “Stereotyping” series. Dec 1, 2017 · 4 min read. War on Drugs — A Deeper Understanding : You embrace the term “dad rock,” wholeheartedly. Japandroids — Near To The Wild Heart of Life : You reject the term “dad rock,” halfheartedly. The National — Sleep Well Beast : You can and/or have written a 5000-word essay about “dad rock” and its place in the modern musical landscape. The Killers — Wonderful Wonderful : You got rocks but you’re not a dad rocker. LCD Soundsystem — American Dream : You think that saying “‘Losing My Edge’ has lost its edge” has lost its edge. (But you’re aware thinking that has lost its edge too.) V i nce Staples — Big Fish Theory : You liked Kendrick’s verse on “Yeah Right” more than the entirety of DAMN. Kendrick Lamar — DAMN. : You’re still secretly waiting on NATION. Dua Lipa — Dua Lipa : You’re a totally chill poptimist and everyone wants to be your friend. Halsey — Hopeless Fountain Kingdom : You’re an angsty poptimist and would have more friends but you don’t want them to see your true self. The Chainsmokers — Memories… Do Not Open : You got so into poptimism that you wrapped back around to unironically liking white male pop-rock. Harry Styles — Harry Styles : You’re a dadrocktimist. Angel Olsen — Phases : This was your selection after you remembered that My Woman came out in 2016. Sampha — Process : This was your selection after you remembered that Blond(e) came out in 2016. Open Mike Eagle — Brick Body Kids Still Daydream : Not everyone understands you, but you’re regarded by your friends as a deep, often brilliant thinker. If they get you, they think you’re the shit. Fleet Foxes — The Crack-Up : You lament that everyone else still “hasn’t got around to hearing it yet.” Father John Misty — Pure Comedy : You quote it and think about it regularly, but even you will admit you haven’t listened to it since it came out. Mount Eerie — A Crow Looked At Me: You haven’t listened to this since it came out either, but honestly that’s totally understandable. Arcade Fire — Everything Now : You’re Win Butler. Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit — The Nashville Sound : You got a good head on your shoulders. Someone has called you “too nice” before, an attempted insult you chose to take as a compliment. Margo Price — All American Made : You’ve been a proud feminist for as long as you can remember, and while you’re not quite up to date on all the newfangled terminology, you’re open minded, well-intentioned, and trying your best. Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile — Lotta Sea Lice: You’ve made the joke about their first names resembling that of Love and Cobain several times already, but no one minds cause you’re so damn likable. Lorde — Melodrama : You’re generally a smart, well-regarded, down-to-earth person, even if your friends have reservations about that weird guy you know who brings his childhood bedroom with him everywhere on tour. St. Vincent — MASSEDUCTION : I mean, he totally seems nice, but dude gives me strange vibes sometimes. Enough about him though: You’re a kinky motherfucker with After Dark accounts for your After Dark accounts. Though by the third or fourth circle you’re just tweeting about your crippling depression instead. Taylor Swift — Reputation : Girl, I feel like you’ve changed since you and him started hanging out. The last time I tried to call you, you just talked about how that “old you” isn’t coming back, but sometimes I miss her, you know? It’s like she’s dead. Whatever — depending on your old vs new preference, your favorite song on here is either “I Did Something Bad” or “New Years Day”. Aimee Mann — Mental Illness : You’re a wistful wine mom that’s lived in LA for the last few years, but sometimes misses her home in the midwest. You wonder if you really miss it, or just miss the idea of it. (You’re not sure what that means either.) Grizzly Bear — Painted Ruins : You’re a wistful wine dad who people depend on for wisdom and emotional stability. Their dad-rock, one might say. Arca — Arca : you’re a vengeful non-binary wine person who hates Anthony Fantano. Bleachers — Gone Now: People have weird feelings about you and how you bring your childhood bedroom everywhere on tour, but it’s chill. Perfume Genius — No Shape : People told you that your English degree wouldn’t get you a Good Job, but you’ve managed to eke out a living and find a significant other while maintaining your positivity (at least outwardly) and your flamboyance. Unrelated; You passed out when you saw this Fortune article. Jlin — Black Origami : Harold, you’re avant-garde. PWR BTTM — Pageant : Harold, you just woke up from an extended coma.

Paramore — After Laughter : I hope you surround yourself with people that adore you because you’re goddamn worth it, okay? Julien Baker — Turn Out The Lights : Look, I know you’re reading this thinking it doesn’t apply to you, but please know that no matter what you’ve done, no matter what you’ve faced, you are still worthy of all the love and affection in the world. Take care of yourself. Chris Brown — Heartbreak On A Full Moon : Really? Out of all the albums? Have you seen the news the past two months? Have you even heard all three hours? Fuck off. Phases by Angel Olsen. Nick Bollinger dips into a disc of out-takes and ephemera from Amer-indie artist Angel Olsen. Angel Olsen Photo: supplied. It’s an indication that an artist has reached a certain level when there is enough interest to release an album of their out-takes. Angel Olsen would seem to have reached that level surprisingly fast. Maybe you’ve been following her since her since her 2014 breakthrough Burn Your Fire For No Witness , or the recordings she made as part of the Cairo Gang with Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, or even her thoroughly indie cassette EP Strange Cacti . It’s been a relatively short recording career for the 30-year-old North Carolina singer-songwriter, from her thoroughly indie cassette EP Strange Cacti to last year’s fully fledged My Woman , which makes this collection of outtakes and rarities unexpected, but not unwanted. ‘Sweet Dreams’ is the oldest track here and it only dates back to 2012 when it appeared on a seven-inch single. It places Olsen’s high-lonesome wail in a garage rock mode, which might be her default setting. But she can suggest other sonic settings as well. With a cathedral’s worth of reverb to help her out, Olsen nods to Roy Orbison in the long tremulous high notes of My Woman outtake ‘Fly On Your Wall’. The refrain ‘a love never made is still mine’ captures a complicated idea that seems to preoccupy much of Olsen’s writing; something to do with knowing oneself, knowing others, and the elusiveness of love. Angel Olsen has a number of different voices she seems to be able to access, whether it’s the full Orbisonian sweep of ‘Fly On Your Wall’ or the weirdly brittle and vulnerable voice of ‘Sans’, that home demo from 2015. And there’s an entirely different vulnerability in the voice she inhabits on another home demo, a cover from last year of Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Tougher Than The Rest’. Or if you don’t warm to the lo-fi of tracks like these, you might prefer Olsen’s voice clear and up close on other solo performances here, like ‘May As Well’. Once more Angel Olsen seems to be watching love slip away as she uncovers yet another voice in that sad and lovely self-penned country song. Its sentiment is echoed in the album’s closing track, a song that curiously enough she first heard on the 60s television show Bonanza . Like the rest of the album, the track is an oddity, yet at the same time it seems perfectly connected to the rest of this strangely cohesive album of orphans. Your Shopping Cart.

Coming off the back of a couple of champagne years that have seen the Missouri singer- songwriter move into the upper echelons of the indie-rock stratosphere, Phases collates some odds-and-sods from Olsen’s career to date. Those who know her best for 2016’s My Woman will find plenty to warm to in the 60s-inspired stomps of ‘Special’ and ‘Fly On Your Wall’, with the former a coy slow-burner of the type that only Olsen can pull off. Fans more familiar with her deeper cuts will enjoy the likes of ‘Sans’ and Springsteen cover ‘Tougher Than the Rest’, both spectral recordings that allow Olsen’s extraordinary wail of a voice to take centre stage. Album of the Week: Angel Olsen, 'Whole New Mess' Angel Olsen's All Mirrors was one of the strongest albums of 2019: her most compelling batch of songs yet, buoyed by elaborate, often gargantuan production. Her new album, Whole New Mess , presents many of those same songs in a stripped-down fashion, casting her songwriting talents in a new light. The narrative is essentially set now: All Mirrors and Whole New Mess will be evaluated against each other depending on a listener's preference in production. Whereas All Mirrors made these songs sound like viewing a distant mountain range, Whole New Mess makes things strikingly intimate. The big takeaway from hearing the songs this way is the inherent robustness of the compositions: they could hold up in any context. The previous incarnation of "Lark Song" relied heavily on thundery bombast, but here, the emotional trauma resonates as much as ever; it's one of the best songs of the year, for the second year in a row. The darkness of "(New Love) Cassette" permeates as strongly as ever, even without the Gainsbourg strings of the original, while "What It Is (What It Is)" lives up to its reputation as one of the sprightliest songs on All Mirrors to close out this collection with a version that feels like it could be sung around a bonfire. There are even a few new-ish songs on the album, including the stark title track, and "Waving, Smiling," which sounds like a lost standard from the 1950s. Whole New Mess is fittingly titled, as it's a whole new take on songs that we've spent the last year internalizing, and it's nice to see that Olsen's gifts are strong enough to make it an essential collection, as opposed to what might have seemed superfluous in other hands. There's a lot of emotional weight to these songs, but it's a credit to Angel Olsen that she was able to bring these feelings to life, not just once, but twice.
