Angel Olsen, who plays the Agora on Feb. 2, talks to us about embracing Americana on her latest album
, she realized a tune she wrote in 2017 would fit nicely on the album. That song, “All the Good Times,” didn’t fit well on any of Olsen’s previous albums and was a musical orphan.
“When my parents passed away, I didn’t have the support system around me for that,” she says. “That was my own doing. I had burned some bridges. It was a tough time for me to get support from people I knew. I thought I could just write and self-reflect and go to the studio. I had friends tell me I could wait, but I needed to work, and it was important to get back to work in any capacity.”
“I had met [Wilson] before briefly, and the whole vibe was really magical up there [at Fivestar Studios],” says Olsen. “It was very open. There are some people who are hands-off, but I like to talk with everyone about the arraignments and allow them to take it where they feel they can without micromanaging things. [Wilson] was so fast and intuited when something was too much. We were all listening with similar ears.
“When I worked with Kim on ‘Like I Used To,’ I was just blown away by how cool she was — even in pressured situations,” says Olsen. “It’s inspiring to see another lady who clearly works here ass off. Justin Hamilton is her cinematographer. They have a super tight understanding of her style and what will work with her plan. The film was mostly about my struggles and fears, but there are some of hers in there too. The fire stuff is more her than me, but that’s a theme on the record.
