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."

-- Zia Anger
