Let's face it, a collaboration between Sharon Van Etten and Angel Olsen was never going to be anything less than utterly magnificent. Olsen can do no wrong in my eyes, and Van Etten's 2019 Green Man set was so good it completely caught me off guard. 'Like I Used To' pushes all of the right buttons, repeatedly, inevitably. Now for an album - please.
In the meantime, I'll console myself with Olsen's previous get-togethers with Marissa Nadler and Hand Habits (neither of which have resulted in LPs - yet) and this stunning performance of All Mirrors material on KEXP. I still can't believe my good fortune to have enjoyed it in the flesh, in Bristol, before lockdown hit.
