ANGEL
OLSEN SHARES TWO NEW VIDEOS -- "TINIEST SEED" AND THE PREVIOUSLY
UNHEARD "SWEET DREAMS" -- PREMIERED THIS MORNING VIA NPR MUSIC
"SLEEPWALKER" 7" OUT JAN. 15 ON SIXTEEN TAMBOURINES; HALF WAY HOME LPS BACK IN STOCK
UPCOMING SHOWS: JAN. 4 IN LOS ANGELES, FEB. 7 IN ST. LOUIS, FEB. 8 IN CHICAGO
Let's all begin the new year with some new Angel Olsen, shall we? Today, she shares with the world two new films, premiered this morning via NPR Music. There's the "Tiniest Seed" video, which is a track off of her stunning sophomore album, Half Way Home, and the video for the previously unreleased song, "Sweet Dreams." A "transatlantic collaboration between four friends," filmmakers Randy Sterling Hunter, Ashley Connor, Zia Anger, and Ms. Olsen
created these with the idea of the viewer watching them in tandem. "Two
songs were written and recorded in Chicago and then sent to Vienna.
There they were translated into a film score. The score was mailed back
across the Atlantic and then interpreted using a hand-wound 16mm camera
. . . The final version is the documentation of an epistolary-exchange
lasting nearly a year . . . an attempt to sync the unsyncable and our
experiment at reconciling the space between us." NPR Music tells the full story about these two films.

"Songs on [Half Way Home]
had much in common with the passions and range of a singer like Roy
Orbison. The common thread between that powerful singer-songwriter and
hit-maker from Texas and this more delicate Midwesterner is that they
both write from the heart and sing with a range that may make you stop
what you're doing and drop your jaw a bit." - NPR Music
