[Video] Angel Olsen: "Hi-Five"
Angel Olsen is doing everything but sitting on her hands waiting for her upcoming album, Burn Your Fire For No Witness, to drop on February 18. She recently performed four unreleased tracks for NPR Music's Tiny Desk Concert Series, and has now released a brand new music video for the country-folk flavored single "Hi-Five." There really couldn't have been a more appropriately creepy yet stunning concept for this video. Olsen and director Zia Anger transport you to a television broadcasting studio straight out of the '60s. Olsen looks striking, yet apathetic while she dances around in a gold shimmering sweater with red tights, two-stepping and making grand sweeping hand gestures.
Check out the video and put this track on repeat while you anxiously await Burn Your Fire For No Witness.

[Video] Angel Olsen: Tiny Desk Concert
Angel Olsen has graciously shared two stellar tracks, Hi-Five and Forgiven/Forgotten, from her highly anticipated album Burn Your Fire For No Witness, out on February 18th via Jagjaguwar. Thankfully, we get another opportunity to hear some of the album before its release. NPR Music presents Olsen playing 4 previously unreleased tracks for their Tiny Desk Concert series.
With no backing band to support her, Olsen strums her guitar longingly, capturing the sorrowful and simple loveliness of her songs. Check out the performance and her upcoming tour dates!

Angel Olsen: "Hi-Five"
Angel Olsen lures you in with her devastatingly lovely voice on "Hi-Five," the second single from her upcoming album Burn Your Fire for No Witness, due out February 18th via Jagjaguwar. Burn Your Fire has already received rave reviews, praising Olsen's talent for song-writing and already naming the album to be a favorite for 2014.
"Hi-Five" takes on a twangy country vibe with Olsen's warbling vocals, straight-froward strumming guitar, and simple beats. Olsen doesn't stray from her usual themes of longing and sadness but takes a sarcastic spin on this track singing, "Are you lonely too? High five, so am I." Listen to the track and check out her upcoming tour dates!
