Angel Olsen is gearing up to release ‘Cosmic Waves Volume 1’, a new compilation and covers project.
Arriving through her somethingscosmic label on 6th December, the record features five original songs from up-and-coming artists on Side A, with Olsen covering each artist on Side B.
The project includes contributions from Poppy Jean Crawford, Coffin Prick, Sarah Grace White, Maxim Ludwig and Camp Saint Helene, with two tracks available now – Crawford’s ‘Glamorous’ and Olsen’s cover of Crawford’s ‘The Takeover’.
“I remember speaking with my good friend Angela Ricciardi about Poppy starring in the film The Giver Gives to Give, and was immediately transfixed by her overall vibe and ’30s era beauty,” Olsen explains. “But it wasn’t until later when Angela shared one of Poppy’s early demo grunge songs with me that I was blown away. Poppy gives me hope that guitar music will come back. She has such a powerful voice made for pop while also having this edge to her that, for me, communicates the kind of rage I can always relate to.”
A release show will take place at In The Meantime in Los Angeles on 6th December, featuring Sarah Grace White, Maxim Ludwig, Camp Saint Helene, Poppy Jean Crawford, Coffin Prick (DJ), and special guests.
