Album Review: Angel Olsen - Big Time

Album Review: Angel Olsen - Big Time

“She’s stripped away the grandiosity and reverted back to the country and Americana sounds that she calls home. It’s as if all those lights and mirrors pointed at her on her previous album have cracked through the surface and revealed a tender, vulnerable core.”

I’ve loved Angel Olsen for a long time, and that doesn’t look like it’ll be changing any time soon if she keeps putting out excellent records. Take a look at my review of new album Big Time over here.
