Angel Olsen Shares New Single & Video for "Lark"

Angel Olsen has already shared the title song from her forthcoming full-length, All Mirrors, and today, she reveals the album's opening track with the music video to "Lark." In the clip, Olsen explores every element of nature: air, fire, earth, and water.

"Lark" sees Olsen teaming up with frequent collaborator director Ashley Connor, who delivers a video as lush and cinematic as the song. In a press release, Connor says of the clip:

“Lark” is the cathartic release we all ask for but so rarely get, an anthem to scream on the tops of hills or in the back of a truck or just in the privacy of our own home. We cried on beaches, we broke bones, got wet, rolled in the grass, danced around a fire with friends and gave each other a lot of hugs — an apt exploration of every broken heart we’ve ever had.

Olsen shares more about the song:

“Lark” is a song that took many years to finish. The disjointed feelings and verses of this song began to make sense as a way for me to exercise a kind of journey through grieving, a kind of personal struggle. The message of the song developed at first from an argument I once had with someone about trust and support. Later, I pulled from recurring themes in my life as a musician and as a human that dreams for a living. It’s easy to promise the world to those we love, but what about when our dreams change and values split?

All Mirrors will be out October 4th via Jagjaguwar.
