Angel Olsen announces new album for 2014 and supports Neko Case in London
Following last year’s debut full-length Half Way Home, Angel Olsen has announced her brand new album Burn Your Fire For No Witness will be released via Jagaguwar on 18 February 2014.
Exploring themes of place and belonging, loss and loneliness the new record finds Olsen with a broader sound palette, partially due to newly found accompaniment in drummer Josh Jaeger and bassist Stewart Bronaugh. The first track to be taken from the record is ‘Forgiven/Forgotten’ whose the burr-studded grunge-pop leanings can be heard here: “https://soundcloud.com/jagjaguwar/angel-olsen-forgiven” / “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iaNvziwUgI&”
Angel Olsen will be in London for a live show on 12 December at The Forum supporting Neko Case.

Many of the superlatives describing Angel Olsen refer to how seemingly little it takes for her to leave an audience speechless, even spellbound. But Olsen has never been as timid as those descriptors imply, and the noisy, fiery hints in her earlier work find a fuller expression on forthcoming LP, Burn Your Fire for No Witness, due out February 18th on new label home Jagjaguwar. Here, Olsen sings with full-throated exultation, admonition, and bold, expressive melody. Also, with the help of producer John Congleton, her music now crackles with a churning, rumbling low end and a brighter energy.
This “collection of songs, grown in a year of heartbreak, travel, and transformation,” tell us to leave, or to high-five a lover who is lacking, or to dance our way up and out of sorrow. Many remain essentially unchanged from their bare beginnings. In leaving them so intact, a more self-assured Olsen than the one present on previous releases Strange Cacti [EP] and Half Way Home opens up, allowing us to be in the room with her at the very genesis of these songs, when the thread of creation is most vulnerable and least filtered. We are rewarded for entering this room with many head-turning moments and the powerful, unsettling recognition of ourselves in the weave of her songs.
This act of meaning-making recurs as a theme throughout Burn Your Fire for No Witness, as the sublimating response to the power of negativity, and thankfully for us, Olsen has decided to channel a lot of this newfound power into the hypnotic performances of her new and revealing songs, sharing with us the full grace and beauty of her transformative moments.
Angel and band will kick off another year of touring on the album’s release date. A full list of dates is below and many more are still to come. Burn Your Fire For No Witness is available for pre-order today. An instant download of ‘Forgiven/Forgotten’ comes with each iTunes pre-order.

Praise for Angel Olson:
” a range that may make you stop what you’re doing and drop your jaw a bit.” NPR Music
“a voice whose range is as wide as it is controlled.” Los Angeles Times
“11 tracks of rough-hewn folk, shimmering and ribboned with dirt-packed veins, sung by a voice that curls and dips and dissolves like a black smoke plume.” Pitchfork [2012 Albums of the Year]
“It’s not just Angel Olsen’s range that makes her voice so unforgettable; it’s the surprise turns she’s learned to produce by manipulating it.” The FADER
“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.” The New York Times
