Angel Olsen- Whole New Mess

On Angel Olsen’s new collection of recordings, the ornamental polish and glamour of her 2019 standout record All Mirrors is torn away and the colossal scope of her songcraft and album arrangement is condensed to the gripping, solitary conditions of her artistic beginnings that handily hypnotized listeners during the Strange Cacti and Half Way Home eras. Now on Whole New Mess out via Jagjaguwar, it’s like before, Angel and her guitar, her haunting vocal range, and a few area mics to absorb her stark and vulnerable recounting of a time of emotional and psychological deficit.
