Angel Olsen has been making music for years. As a collaborator she played with Will Oldham, and then released her own music back in 2010, debuting on cassette. But it was her 2016 record My Woman, that made the world sit up and take notice. Acclaimed all over, it marked the arrival of an incredibly powerful songwriter and when we saw Angel Olsen live, we fell in love even more. Her life since has been one of travel, touring all over the world to play her songs. When away from so long, what are the songs that keep her grounded? We explored that over some known and not so well known choices, as well as hot days in Lisbon and drinking gin in Tasmania. Bookended with The Jam and Psychedelic Furs, Angel Olsen took us all on an odyssey.
