Angel Olsen (Solo)

Singer/songwriter Angel Olsen plays a rare solo set at the Lensic! Her latest album, Big Time, is about the expansive power of new love, but this brightness is tempered by a profound sense of loss. Loss has long been a subject of Olsen’s elegiac songs, but few can write elegies with quite the reckless energy as she.

If that bursting-at-the-seams energy has come to seem intractable to her work, this album proves Olsen is now writing from a more rooted place of clarity. These are songs not just about transformational mourning, but of finding freedom and joy in the privations as they come.

Olsen is joined by special guest Maxim Ludwig.
