{"product_id":"angel-olsen_big-time_2022_mdl","title":"Big Time","description":"A recent loss, much like a nascent love, has the power to sharpen our vision and allow us to see more clearly. As temporary as these states may be, the vulnerability and transformation they demand can overwhelm even the strongest among us. There are rare and fruitful moments when both coexist, when grief and limerence intensify, complicate, and intermingle; the songs that make up Angel Olsen's Big Time were forged in such a moment. Big Time is an album about the expansive power of new love, but this brightness and optimism are tempered by a profound sense of loss. As Angel Olsen came to terms with her homosexuality and confronted the traumas that had prevented her from fully accepting herself, she felt it was time to come out to her parents, a hurdle she had been avoiding for some time. Finally, at 34, she was free to be herself. Three days later, her father passed away, followed shortly after by her mother. The fragments of this grief – the shortening of her chance to finally be seen more fully and genuinely by her parents – are scattered throughout the album. Three weeks after her mother's funeral, Angel Olsen was in the studio, recording this new album filled with wisdom and tenderness. Loss has long been a prominent theme in Angel Olsen's songs, but few artists can write elegies with such energy. While this overflowing dynamism has become integral to her work, this album proves that Angel Olsen now writes with a more grounded clarity. She works with an elastic mastery of her voice, both sonically and artistically. These are not just songs about grief and the transformations it brings, but about finding freedom and joy despite deprivation and longing.","brand":"Angel Olsen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55312053600600,"sku":null,"price":23956905.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0656605242415_9df099b5-a84a-4e23-820d-f4ba5013e91b.jpg?v=1760322600","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/angel-olsen_big-time_2022_mdl","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
