Angel Olsen
“Lark”
All Mirrors
This is the most beautiful song released this year, and considering the great music that 2019 has produced, that is saying a lot. Angel Olsen has the most beautiful voice; when she sings high, there is this hiccup of emotion quite like Roy Oberson, where the emotion gets stuck in her throat. When I saw her live, the music was so beautiful, I had tears of joy, sadness, triumph, defeat, flowing down my face. “Lark” is so wonderful how it starts quiet, builds up with these strings supporting her as she jumps from a longer octave to a higher octave as the words carry her along, and they carry you with them. I can’t write more; just that All Mirrors is going to be the best album of year. Angel Olsen, I love you.
