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