Angel Olsen - Big Time

 

Big Time - Limited Edition Opaque Pink Vinyl 2LP!

Limited time album download included

The sound of Angel Olsen's albums may swing from raw to symphonic and back, but there are always open wounds in her music that no amount of polished production can cauterise. The Missouri singer-songwriter has lost both her parents and come out as queer since we last heard her on 2020's Whole New Mess, and her elegant response at this point on the pendulum swing is a luxuriant sprawl of orchestral folk rock. These songs prove the truth of Philip Larkin's line "What will survive of us is love," and it's telling that the title track is a love song rather than one of the more fretful tracks that flit through the album.
