ANGEL OLSEN ANNOUNCES WEST COAST TOUR IN SUPPORT OF HALF WAY HOME

ANGEL OLSEN ANNOUNCES WEST COAST TOUR IN SUPPORT OF HALF WAY HOME



 
Angel Olsen has a fresh edge to her sound, a warm and wonderful range so rarely found, and an otherworldly skill and charm. Her elegance and special presence radiates on sophomore album, Half Way Home, and equally in a live setting. She captivates, creating an emotional stew, her robust voice up front, bold and engaging, aching to be heard. After a tour of the Northeast last fall and a one-off show in LA to kick off 2013, Angel is heading back out west for an extensive tour in support of Half Way Home. Catch Angel and band live in intimate settings throughout the west coast and experience why she is quickly becoming a favorite of so many. And stay on top of Angel-related news via the brand new angelolsen.com, launched this morning.

"Ms. Olsen understands the power of holding back, and feeding out extravagance in small portions. People stopped buying drinks; the bartenders put their elbows on the counter, engrossed. It was remarkable. . . Ms. Olsen has found her sound - her voice, alone and untreated and slow, conjoined with the specific resonance of her guitar - and she's able to replicate a private discovery in front of a crowd. That's a lot."  
- The New York Times

"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

"On 'Half Way Home,' she waltzes through 11 gems that highlight a minimalist guitarist with a gentle touch and a voice whose range is as wide as it is controlled." - Los Angeles Times
