​Angel Olsen Collects Rarities for 'Phases' LP, Shares "Special"

BY Sarah MurphyPublished Sep 21, 2017

Angel Olsen released her lauded LP My Woman last year, but before the singer-songwriter follows it up with an album of totally new material, she's revisiting her early days for an upcoming compilation.
 
Titled Phases, the set is due out on November 10 through Jagjaguwar. It will collect recordings from the last several years, compiling B-sides, rarities and demos that span the period between her 2010 EP Strange Cacti and 2016's My Woman.
 
The 12-song collection features two previously unheard demos ("How Many Disasters" and "Sans"), as well as Olsen's contribution to the Our First 100 Days anti-Trump series called "Fly on Your Wall," which you can revisit at the bottom of the page.
 
Right now, you can also hear the collection's "Special." It was recorded during the sessions for My Woman, and you can stream it down below. Just scroll past the complete Phases tracklisting and Olsen's upcoming fall North American tour dates, then hit play.
