It’s only been a couple of weeks since we were enamored with Angel Olsen and the very personal/beautiful “Creator, Destroyer”. While in Chicago our good friends at Yours Truly captured her performing two tracks (“Creator, Destroyer” and “If It’s Alive It Will”) with an honesty that couldn’t possibly be emulated. If you haven’t grabbed it already, Olsen has an amazing tape, Strange Cacti, available on Bathetic. Highly recommended. The progression of this video is devastating and beautiful, Angel goes from naive and almost nervous to resolute and singing with conviction, Yours Truly has captured pure gold.
