Angel Olsen's expanding musical universe

There's something so magnetic about Angel Olsen's voice. It has a protean quality that seemingly gives her an unforced mastery of every genre she dips into, most recently the bruised Americana of this year's gorgeous Big Time.

A couple of weeks ago I spoke to Angel on the phone for my first go at The Line of Best Fit's newest feature, Personal Best. The idea is to take a deep dive into artists' five favourite songs of their own making, giving them a chance to shine a light on songs from all corners of their discography. Our chat is published today!
