Angel Olsen's new album Big Time arrives in two weeks (6/3 via Jagjaguwar), and she has just now shared its third single, following "All the Good Times" and the title track. The new one is called "Through The Fires," and it's a mournful, string-laden piano ballad that hearkens back to the pre-Beatles era. It feels a little more like Angel's earlier records than the music she had been making recently, but with a perspective and rich musical embellishments that make it a firm step forward. She says:
"Through The Fires" is the centerpiece statement of this record. It’s a song I wrote to remind myself that this life is temporary, the past is not something to dwell on, that it’s important to keep moving, keep searching for the people that are also searching, and to notice the moments that are lighter and bigger than whatever trouble I’ve encountered.

Angel's new album also comes with an accompanying film that premieres on June 2 at 9:30 PM Eastern on Amazon Music's Twitch channel. She also has several upcoming tour dates, including her run with Sharon Van Etten (whose excellent new album just came out) and Julien Baker that hits NYC's Central Park SummerStage on August 21 (sold out).
