{"product_id":"angel-olsen-forever-means-ep","title":"Angel Olsen - Forever Means EP (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLast year’s \u003cstrong\u003eBig Time\u003c\/strong\u003e brought \u003cstrong\u003eAngel Olsen\u003c\/strong\u003e to a deeper, truer sense of self than ever before. Borne from the twin stars of grief and love, the album delivered a beautiful sense of certainty, the sure-footed sound of an artist fully, finally at home with herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut within that wisdom comes the realization that there is no finish line, no destination or static end point to life while you’re living it, and \u003cstrong\u003eForever Means\u003c\/strong\u003e collects songs from the \u003cstrong\u003eBig Time\u003c\/strong\u003e sessions that hold this common theme. They are, in \u003cstrong\u003eOlsen’s\u003c\/strong\u003e words, “in search of something else.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“I was somewhere traveling,” says \u003cstrong\u003eOlsen,\u003c\/strong\u003e “stopped for a few days and wandering the city, and I was thinking ‘what does 'forever' really mean? What are the things I’m seeking in friendship or love, and how can ‘forever’ be attainable if we’re always changing?’”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSitting with the reality of that entropy, \u003cstrong\u003eOlsen\u003c\/strong\u003e realized “maybe the secret to ongoing love is to embrace change as part of love itself, that forever must have something to do with playing, looking, constantly searching things out for yourself, never letting yourself think you’re finished learning or exploring.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“‘Forever’”, says\u003cstrong\u003e Olsen,\u003c\/strong\u003e “remains curious while trying also to be kind and honest.” And so it is with opener “Nothing’s Free”, a song that is, according to \u003cstrong\u003eOlsen\u003c\/strong\u003e, “about that point when self-denial breaks, and you notice how long you've been restraining who you are.” It is as hypnotic and haunting as anything Olsen has ever written, backed by a sax and organ pairing that feel wholly new to her canon. “Holding On” stretches that endless curiosity even further, as \u003cstrong\u003eOlsen\u003c\/strong\u003e leans into a song that is “rare in my music, not meant for singing, more for getting lost in.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll this packs into the four precious songs that comprise \u003cstrong\u003eForever Means\u003c\/strong\u003e, songs from \u003cstrong\u003eOlsen’s\u003c\/strong\u003e roads traveled and the ones ahead. “Nothing’s free \/ like breaking free” \u003cstrong\u003eOlsen\u003c\/strong\u003e sings, comfortable with the costs of her clarity, her heart and voice fixed on the present, the future, the not-yet-known and the beautifully unknowable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable on limited baby pink coloured vinyl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA1.
