VIDEO: ANGEL OLSON - FORGIVEN/FORGOTTEN

Angel Olsen just sent us her video for "Forgiven/Forgotten" off of her ethereal and powerful new album, Burn Your Fire for No Witness, will be released February 18, 2014 via Jagjaguwar. The video offers a visual representation and is directed by creative partner, Zia Anger.

"I traveled to Asheville with a couple rolls of 16mm film and a Bolex camera. The only idea Angel and I had decided on was that she should be given a chance to act - to perform in a way most people have never seen her perform. Upon arriving I was immediately struck by the beautiful and unruly area of Malvern Hills. Suburbia had never spoken to me like that before. Our idea morphed into a suburban fantasy just as lawless as its backdrop. It is complete with a 'Freaks and Geeks'-inspired lovers quarrel that ends with the male character physically being hand-scratched out of the film."

VIDEO: ANGEL OLSEN - TINIEST SEED

A transatlantic epistolary exchange between four friends. A song transformed into a film score and mailed across the Atlantic Ocean. The score interpreted using a single roll of tri-x 16mm film. The film exposed, rewound and re-exposed many times, developed and sent back across the Atlantic. A response was filmed and the two spliced together. Time passing. The feeling of time. Collapsing space. Collapsing time. Collapsing time and space. "Tiniest Seed" is available on Angel Olsen's LP "Half Way Home" from Bathetic Records

*16mm print available and recommended for screening purposes. This is the digital version.

US footage processed at Alpha Cine Seattle. Austrian footage hand-processed at the filmkoop wien. 2K film scan by Synchro Vienna.
