Folk and indie
rock fans rejoice! Not only does the brilliant American singer and guitarist ANGEL OLSEN release a
brand new album next week, she’s also coming back to New Zealand for two shows
this December.
Following her Laneway Festival performances in 2015, Angel Olsen will be
playing Wellington’s San Fran on December 13 and Auckland’s legendary Kings
Arms on December 14 in support of her new album MY WOMAN.
Tickets go on sale at midday tomorrow, Friday August 26.

Angel Olsen has given us reverb-shrouded poetic swoons, shadowy folk,
grunge-pop band workouts and haunting, fingerpicked epics over her first two
albums.
Anyone reckless enough to have typecast Angel according to 2013's Burn Your Fire For No Witness is in for a sizeable surprise with her third album, MY WOMAN. The crunchier, blown-out
production of the former is gone, but that fire is now burning wilder. Her
disarming, timeless voice is even more front-and-centre than before, and the
overall production is lighter. Yet the strange, raw power and slowly unspooling
incantations of her previous efforts remain, so anyone who might attempt to
pigeonhole Angel as either an elliptical outsider or a pop personality is going
to be wrong whichever way they choose, as she continues to reign over the land
between the two with a haunting obliqueness and sophisticated grace.
The first two singles from MY
WOMAN, “Intern” and “Shut Up and Kiss Me”, both got the nod for
Pitchfork’s Best New Music and with dates across the USA and Europe to support
the album, New Zealand fans have the opportunity to see Angel Olsen at her
best.
