Big Time Angel Olsen

An album of grief, new love, and acceptance, ‘Big Time’ arrives with big emotions delivered with nuance, intimacy, and verve on Angel Olsen’s sixth LP. Wearing a stronger Country influence than previous work, Olsen doesn’t forego the Dream-Pop-like stylings she’s most known for. The result is an album that is musically soft, warm and tender as lapsteel guitar, piano and strings provide backing to tracks that celebrate new love, Olsen recently came out as gay, while also dealing with the heartache of the deaths of both her parents. Tracking the emotional weight of change, and the wisdom that comes with it, Angel Olsen presents a cohesive treatise on the value of love of all kinds.
