Angel Olsen Shares Video for “Special”

Angel Olsen has shared the video for her song “Special.” The visual excellently mirrors the lo-fi quality of the track, following the singer and her friends as they all hang out with goats, visit record stores, and drive around in their ‘hood, all shot through a vintage camera for that old-school VHS quality.

The track itself is one of the new songs that will appear on Phases, her forthcoming collection of B-sides, rarities, and demos from the past several years. Olsen said of the track in a press release:

“’Special’ always felt like a band song to me, something to lose track of ourselves in. It didn’t quite fit the rest of MY WOMAN and was a major deciding factor on whether or not it would mean a double LP. MY WOMAN came out and I kept thinking about the song and wanting to play it anyway.”  

Phases will be released November 10th via Jagjaguwar. See the new music video, which Olsen directed and edited herself, above.
