Cosmic Waves Volume 1 (Vinyl LP)
Compilation of artists chosen and covered by Angel Olsen.
There's something just so radical about newly successful artists who use the opportunity to bring others up with them where they can. On the Cosmic Waves Volume 1 compilation, the extremely radical Angel Olsen has decided to highlight five of her favourite artists, those being Poppy Jean Crawford, Coffin Prick, Sarah Grace White, Maxim Ludwig, and Camp Saint Helene. With side A featuring a song each from these artists, side B finds Olsen delivering a cover of each of their tunes. Lovely. - Flying Out
A few years ago, Angel Olsen quietly formed somethingscosmic, a new imprint and a home for Olsen to have "the flexibility to release when and how I want to with the help from my longtime partners at Jagjaguwar." Somethingscosmic's second release, 'Cosmic Waves Volume 1' is a compilation reimagined as a dialogue; side A features artists chosen by Olsen, with each artist choosing their own song for the collection. Side B is a collection of songs from the same artists, but chosen by Olsen and recorded by her. Each, unsurprisingly, illuminates a star in the constellation of talents that make Angel Olsen such a spectacular and enduring artist. Hearing Olsen refract the artists' songs back to them reveals not just the depth of Olsen's imagination, but the multiple masters at work across the collection as well.
