Let the Good Times roll

It seems Angel Olsen got her urge to cut loose and just have some fun out of her system with the Aisles EP. New single 'All The Good Times', the teaser for forthcoming LP Big Time, represents a return to her roots - perhaps not the folk of the very early days, but certainly the perfectly crafted Americana of breakthrough album Burn Your Fire For No Witness. As with the tracks on that record, it instantly feels like a timeless classic, starting off low key before building to a stunning climax. Heartbreak never sounded so damn good.

Accompanying news of the single and album were details of a tour, which will see her playing the Forum in Bath in October. It may be further to travel than Bristol was last time around, on the All Mirrors tour in February 2020, but seeing her live is worth a journey of pretty much any length.
