.AngelOlsen shares what she geeked out on while making her new album
On her first three albums, Angel Olsen had trouble loosening her grip. “I have a lot of issues with control,” says the 32-year-old singer-songwriter. But for the expansive, out Oct. 4 on Jagjaguwar, the Asheville, N.C.-based artist opened up her inner circle, recruiting string arrangers Jherek Bischoff and Ben Babbitt.
“It was a really testing process for me,” she says, “but really rewarding.” Olsen also shares how a more collaborative process, and her early studies of piano theory, actually worked in her favor., Olsen laid down bare-bones solo versions of each song on guitar. But once in the studio, she saw the songs were changing form so drastically and felt compelled to learn them on piano -- the first instrument she ever played -- as well as guitar. “As a kid, I learned theory for so many years,” she says.
