Angel Olsen's 'Big Time' is the album she's been waiting all her life to make.
She co-wrote that blissful title track with her real-life romantic partner, Beau Thibodeaux, and while it can be dangerous to treat songwriting as autobiography, Olsen has made a point of presentingas her first album since coming out as queer. Happiness suits her; you can hear her exhaling with a new freedom in every song here, from the sun-dappledcrescendo of “Right Now.
That feeling extends to the lush studio sound created by Olsen and co-producer Jonathan Wilson, the long-haired mystic who’s brought his Nashville-via-Laurel-Canyon magic to records by Father John Misty and Dawes. Kudos, too, to band member Drew Erickson, who wrote the string charts for this LP fresh off his work on Lana Del Rey’s. They’re impressive resumes, but neither dude has ever worked on a record half as sincerely joyful as, and the credit for that is all Angel’s.
