Description
Last year’s Big Time brought Angel Olsen to a deeper, truer sense
of self than ever before. Borne from the twin stars of grief and love,
the album delivered beautiful sense of certainty, the sure-footed sound
of an artist fully, finally at home with herself. But within that wisdom
comes the realization that there is no finish line, no destination or static
end point to life while you’re living it, and Forever Means collects songs
from the Big Time sessions that hold this common theme. They are, in
Olsen’s words, “in search of something else.”
“I was somewhere traveling,” says Olsen, “stopped for a few days and
wandering the city, and I was thinking ‘what does ‘forever’ really mean?
What are the things I’m seeking in friendship or love, and how can
‘forever’ be attainable if we’re always changing?’” Sitting with the reality
of that entropy, Olsen realized “maybe the secret to ongoing love is to
embrace change as part of love itself, that forever must have something
to do with playing, looking, constantly searching things out for yourself,
never letting yourself think you’re finished learning or exploring.”
‘Forever’”, says Olsen, “remains curious while trying also to be kind
and honest.”
All this packs into the four precious songs that comprise Forever
Means, songs from Olsen’s roads traveled and the ones ahead.
“Nothing’s free / like breaking free” Olsen sings, comfortable with the
costs of her clarity, her heart and voice fixed on the present, the future,
the not-yet-known and the beautifully unknowable. -
