Different cultures have different audiences.
Angel Olsen
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I listen to tapes a lot. I have a car that only (has a cassette player). I like the nostalgic factor.
Angel Olsen
Image
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
Image
I'm letting the songs breathe and change and become what they are without force.

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.

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!

You want to create things as purely as possible without allowing the universe to interfere so much that it's manipulating it and making things unreal to you.

Image
I just want to scream: I'm being honest, I swear! Maybe it's embarrassing, but I don't care anymore.
Angel Olsen
Image
I know it sounds so lame, but the songs are like my children.
Angel Olsen
Image
Music is the first thing I ever cared greatly about. I've been singing and writing songs since I was six or seven.

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
Image
If you can't be psyched about your own thoughts, then how are you supposed to have a meaningful interaction with anyone?
Angel Olsen
Image
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
Image
I'm not trying to prove that I'm capable of doing many things.

I was adopted legally around age three, but it's not like this thing I think about when I wake up every day. I was adopted by my foster parents, so I was comfortable with them. I wasn't in this alien place.

Image
I feel really good about the future and working with people.

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.

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.
