My family life, my adoption - it could be related to the songs, but I think the songs are deeper than that. They're not just about this experience.
Angel Olsen
Image
I don't believe people when they say their songs have nothing to do with their personal life.
Angel Olsen
Image
I'm ready to take on different selves and experiment and see what happens.

I just want to scream: I'm being honest, I swear! Maybe it's embarrassing, but I don't care anymore.

I wasn't an only child, but I was the youngest, and no one else in my family played music.

People should know each other because they want to, because they have things in common.

You get to a certain age and it really occurs to you: My mother and my father will not always be here. My spouse or my girlfriend or boyfriend are here right now, but someday they won't be. You realize that you need to like yourself.

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

I guess that in a lot of ways, my writing is more of a character to me than something that I feel personally attached to.

It's hard to force a relationship with a stranger even if they happen to be someone you happen to share blood with.

I know it sounds so lame, but the songs are like my children.

It's a bit of a weird thing to know that (my music) has translated to that many people.

Go and experience life the way that someone else might experience it. Maybe you'll find meaning in a different corner of your brain. The fact that it changed doesn't negate the fact that it ever mattered.
Angel Olsen
Image
I'm letting the songs breathe and change and become what they are without force.
Angel Olsen
Image
I'd rather people interpret the songs and get whatever they can out of them instead of thinking about me crying in a room with a guitar.

In high school I was in a band called Goodfight, but it was more me running around on stage. It was very punk inspired. Then I started to get into indie-rock and older music and decided I wanted to write my own stuff. I quit the band. Around 16 or 17, I started recording myself at home on keyboard and piano.

Sometimes I'll hit a note and sometimes I don't. Why not at least try?

People are buying more vinyl now than they did in the late '90s or 2000s. I like having different mediums of the record. It's always interesting to see how the tapes end up looking because they are so tiny.

The family that raised me are awesome people and they are my mother and my father and my brother and my sister. I've never viewed them as these strangers that took over. It's never been this crazy, dramatic, Lifetime-movie situation. It's been chill.

My first ever tour of my music was in the Netherlands. I didn't really have a grace period to grow or anything, people just started booking for me. I feel pretty lucky.
