I don't know what folk music means anymore, because the meaning of that just keeps changing.

I listen to tapes a lot. I have a car that only (has a cassette player). I like the nostalgic factor.

I'm ready to take on different selves and experiment and see what happens.
Angel Olsen
Image
In a lot of senses, things are definitely changing in my life, and with what's going on around me. But I still feel like the writing process is as intimate as it as before, if not more. Because I need my time more than I had before.

I've been writing a lot of songs in twos, songs that are like twins in my mind.
