Angel Olsen Phases

"[I]t's notable for those of us who love Olsen's dramatic, haunted voice and tension-filled but often understated arrangements."
4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] gentle but solid thing, a quiet record that speaks loudly and encompasses the past 80 years of music, from the 1930s Americana of the Carter Family and 1950s doo-wop through to 1960s Laurel Canyon singer-songwriterism, 1970s outlaw country and early 2000s anti-folk."
Paste (magazine) - "[T]here is no musical element that is ever more exceptional than her voice. From the fuzziest living room recording to the full-on studio outtakes, Olsen always cuts clear to the foreground -- grabbing and holding your attention in the sweetest vice-grip."
Pitchfork (Website) - "This collection of B-sides, demos, and covers is terrific and revelatory in its own right. It's a trail of dropped clues to the creative process of the defiantly mercurial Olsen."
Clash (Magazine) - "Her cover of Bruce Springsteen's 'Tougher Than The Rest' is a standout on the record. Effortless yet dripping with emotion, as Olsen slows the pace right down to extract the song's heartbreakingly earnest core."
