Angel Olsen originally envisioned her two most recent albums, 2019’s All Mirrors and 2020’s Whole New Mess, as one double album. That didn’t end up happening, but now the two projects will be brought together under one umbrella on a new box set, Song Of The Lark And Other Far Memories, which is set for release on May 7.
The set which also features a 40-page book and a collection of bonus tracks titled Far Memory. Among the bonus tracks are a cover of Roxy Music’s “More Than This,” a Mark Ronson remix of “New Love Cassette,” and a new song called “It’s Every Season (Whole New Mess),” an alternate version of “Whole New Mess” that was recorded during the All Mirrors sessions. Olsen shared the latter track today.
