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.

More quotes by Angel Olsen
In the music industry, it's pretty easy to make an album just because you want to keep going, like, 'This is the formula.' But the formula is your life. You have to live your life and you have to live it well - that's the formula.
Angel Olsen
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
I listen to tapes a lot. I have a car that only (has a cassette player). I like the nostalgic factor.
Angel Olsen
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
I sometimes write as if I were talking to myself, or to a mirror, or to someone for the last time. There's this element of confrontation.
Angel Olsen
I don't believe people when they say their songs have nothing to do with their personal life.
Angel Olsen
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.

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.
Angel Olsen
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.
Angel Olsen
A lot of people ask me if I'm OK. I'm capable of crazy - a lot of people are - but I'm OK.
Angel Olsen
Share yourself with others after you have first spent some time with yourself.
Angel Olsen
I enjoy singing the songs a certain way, but I don't even know how the writing even began. To me, it's work that is kind of invisible it's a weird kind of work to have because you're not working, but it's not not work. Formulating your thoughts and making a melody that's catchy enough for people to listen to what you're saying is really hard!
Angel Olsen
I've been writing a lot of songs in twos, songs that are like twins in my mind.
Angel Olsen
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.
Angel Olsen
I'm sure that the meaning of the songs that I've written will change for me over the years, the same way that I can't even say what inspired some of the songs that I've been singing for a long time anymore.
Angel Olsen
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.
Angel Olsen
I feel really good about the future and working with people.
Angel Olsen
It's hard to force a relationship with a stranger even if they happen to be someone you happen to share blood with.
Angel Olsen
Music is the first thing I ever cared greatly about. I've been singing and writing songs since I was six or seven.
Angel Olsen
If, you know, all your life you're making films or whatever, and somehow along the way you lose meaning in whatever you're doing when you're making the films, they're just not the same as they used to be to you. That doesn't mean your life is over it just means maybe go try to live a different life.
