Burn Your Fire for No Witness, the latest record from Angel Olsen, finds the songwriter preaching — and singing and playing — with more conviction and fortitude than on her previous efforts. Forged in a crucible of heartbreak and wanderlust, the album presents a refreshing perspective on sorrow. Olsen testifies that there is power to draw from pain — embodied in the bold guitar sounds and low-end rumble that form the album’s rock-solid foundation. This release is by turns a delicate and bracing work, one as transfixing as it is transformative. Olsen plays an intimate show at the United Methodist Church in Winooski on Monday, July 27.
Price: Sold out. AA
