Angel Olsen on her dazzling new LP and becoming a crazy cat lady
is Olsen’s stunning, most personal record yet: 11 tracks with sweeping string arrangements, glossed with synthesizers and haunting piano chords. It’s cathartic, heartbreaking and even cinematic at times. “I felt I was being bold by allowing 100% of myself into something for the first time and admitting that it is about me and about my life,” she says. “And I didn’t really admit that in previous records.
I was definitely listening to Brian Eno and a lot of Gary Newman. Kate Bush, Sinead O’Connor. A lot of the Reels, a lot of late 80s music. But also a lot of Nina Simone and jazz and Mildred Bailey and Phil Green. I wanted to do something with those influences like on “Endgame.”No, actually; it wasn’t spring when I wrote “Spring.
“Summer” is supposed to be this really fun time, but I was in the middle of chaos and feeling really isolated, and so that song was more about feeling like I didn’t have a support system.I’ve had such a bad example of what a good relationship is, and that song is about meeting someone that showed me what a good relationship can be. And realizing that I would do anything for them; to let them love someone else, because I love them so much.It was wintertime, so it was raining a lot in L.A.
