Angel Olsen Releases ‘Waving, Smiling’ Single & Live Performance Video

On August 28, Angel Olsen will release Whole New Mess via Jagjaguwar. The 11-track affair features just Olsen’s voice and guitar and includes “Waving, Smiling,” a new single which Angel performed during a set at Asheville’s Masonic Temple.

Angel Olsen recorded Whole New Mess at “The Unknown,” a Catholic church in Anacortes, Washington that was converted into a studio by Mount Eerie’s Phil Elverum and producer Nicholas Wilbur. The album features stripped down versions of nine songs originally released on Angel’s 2019 LP, All Mirrors.
