Cheryl is probably the best host on KEXP.

[@alisonmcsecret4225]

Matt G she needs to host a murder mystery show in NBC.

[@martinet1985]

lol :D

[@trevorneil3954]

probably?! only two alternatives I've seen are girl who doesn't do research, and awkward guy who talked to the black lips for like 15 minutes about garbage pail kids!

[@strictlynorton]

Matt Cheryl is the beating heart of KEXP

[@doorsheets2637]

Cheryl IS the best host.

[@LordEizen]

oh hey i also do this with artists i like haha C:

[@fabiudesousabento6629]

Indie

[@FellDestroyedMusic]

These songs will always remind me of a trip to Illinois. Specifically Iota, I distinctly remember playing that song, while sufficiently sleep deprived on the plane ride over middle America. it was such a beautiful moment of music discovery, wherein the atmosphere and the content of the song melded so perfectly, the cabin noise and commotion somehow finding common ground with the calm and reassurance of the lyrics. So much hope, I think I finally found it.

[@TheGhostfaceMiller]

"Full Performance". She's just stood there, eyes wide open. Fucking love it!!

[@elicarter7868]

That thousand yard stare... I love this performance.

[@lynnpehrson8826]

I love that hi-five is basically a country song, but toward the end it has like groovy garagey/punky breakdowns

[@boomboxmolly]

Love this. There are women (and men) who write their own songs and sing them the way they want to. When people think that women have to sound "pretty" when they sing I feel so sad for their limited point of view and the music they feel they must enjoy. Music isn't about making you feel good (all the time). It is about expression. You don't have to care for it, but don't be a dick about the things you don't like.

[@housefire221]

I get what you’re saying but I also find her voice very pretty and makes me feel good haha

[@Laura-po3yw]

💯

[@johnnyq1992]

God damn. What a voice, what a style, what a babe.

[@iambiased716]

This is such a powerful and practiced performance ! Amazing !

[@anraiduine1483]

saw Angel Olsen (this band comp) live - easily one of the best shows I have ever seen, great songs, great musicianship, cheers!!!

[@R5d4d2]

I often wonder if Angel truly understands how beautiful she is.

[@MildredBonkers]

+R5d4d2 super bummed that literally every single video of angel olsen has some sort of comment about her body or her looks. get correct. its 2015 and women CLEARLY have so much more to offer than simply being the object of your gawking.

[@R5d4d2]

+Jillian Musielak Blah, blah, blah. I admire her. Mind, body and soul. P.S. Angel is gorgeous. I'm not blind. 17:09

[@MildredBonkers]

+R5d4d2 its not "blah, blah, blah." its the way things are and it sucks and each time you ''blah, blah, blah" it away, it gets worse.

[@finley.joseph]

+Jillian Musielak Shut up. It's not sexist to compliment someone on their looks.

[@MildredBonkers]

+Finley Ratcliffe it is when the majority of comments on a video of woman playing music are about that woman's looks instead of her talent.

[@rosylemons]

The host seems like the most wholesome sweet and chill lady

[@generalmuss]

There is a Roy Orbison spirit in her.

[@elizabethprestifilippo9921]

headline- "Woman Carries Rock and Roll on Her Back" love this b

[@ArkEleven1]

Incredible rendition of Sweet Dreams.

[@Knieghtz]

Angel Olsen is legit!

[@codiserville593]

[@Am-pc8vk]

She's fucking cool

[@adk5980]

[@mrwitdesamluk]

I really love sound of her songs recorded live here on KEXP! She's definitely one of my favorites.

[@kevinizon]

Uttterly fantastic. Kudos!! She can write, controls her voice, great footprint. I await future work with great interest!!

[@jonquilio]

Cheryl's description of Lights out is so spot on "So nice"

[@CinRey]

I've been listening to this on repeat. Love them!

[@SacrilegeGamingGodz]

[@martinskanal]

I truly love the strangly (outta) tuned snare in forgiven/forgotten

[@VisionaryCompanion]

I noticed that, and it drives me nuts, but not in a good way.

[@winkmurder]

Completely enamored, so in love with this woman.

[@ronylira8219]

Did know "enamored" is a english word

[@aleeeeida]

Such an inspiration.

[@tomasvondra4493]

Her smile at 13:38 That little change at 1:33 . Her scarf. Guitar out of tune, whatever. Love it!

[@DylanRodriguez96]

I LOVE YOU ANGEL

[@joshliam1967]

[@sfrank7799]

I've been waiting so long for this!!!!!!!!!!!! finally!!

[@MarkCranerium]

Jaunty numbers.

[@toddglee1]

Ahh love this

[@mixery212]

First time I ever see Angel Olsen in person. Her voice and attitude kind of remind me of a cool Dolly Parton.

[@brettboswell5267]

she always has cool guitars

[@joshwhalen17]

Joni Mitchell, Kurt Cobain, Roy Orbison, Lord have mercy this is gorgeous.

[@LNClubsTheaters]

Sounds awesome! Great job on this.

[@tylerrwatson]

Total badass.

[@danieltorres6583]

I love Angel Olson

[@clrajoy]

[@HuntingtonWiffle]

Her voice reminds me a lot of Tom Verlaine from Television. I dig it.

[@levankakiashvili3705]

LOVE

[@MMAfan030]

Stunning !

[@jamesadamscherub100]

Her guitar 🎸 & Sweet Dreams ❤️

[@garykearney3273]

Seen her at primavera sound, few days ago. An incredible performance. One to watch.

[@KNakanishi]

She's significantly better live.

[@thehousecat93]

Even the recorded version of Shut Up Kiss Me is so good though. I'm legit obsessed with that song right now.

[@RizzoKingPrawnRat]

+Matthew Norman crazy good

[@nexionaut]

Same here, it's insanely good.

this is very good !

[@dobbyf]

sounds like 90's grunge rock. well done Angel!

[@codypower4298]

This is my Angel Olsen

[@indiecalms]

Great singer song/writer!

[@RafaelMagao3]

Muito bom

[@tryingyourluck0]

after stumbling upon this new performance of Angel Olsen my moods elated guys :3

[@ethiopianjokeshurt]

Holy shittttt

[@FellDestroyedMusic]

all love forever

[@JohmathanBSwift]

mmmm, country Patti Smith . I don't know about that, but what I do know is she has got talent. Love it.

[@SuperNeilOBrien]

VERY entertaining. Interesting sound.

[@marce219r]

tremendo el sonido

[@arboledakj3066]

LindAaa

[@joelo9879]

I do not know why but I like this, yeahhhh!!!!

[@bretbret8293]

Holy shit.

[@trexinvert]

She channels Roy Orbison.

[@voigt11]

agreed

[@fiorellaconstanza4722]

Could you recommend an album by Roy Orbison that resembles Angel Olsen?

[@j.b.n.1492]

Probably after the early Sun Records years - try the songs "In Dreams" ( Also the album title) & "Crying" - they hang out on the edges of town like Angels songs do

[@willa411able]

Leonard Cohen too

[@alisonmcsecret4225]

J.B.N. good call

[@billordo]

nice!

i love her eyes looking everywhere while playing 11:37

[@lastoftheurgents1965]

I liked Lights Out and the other tracks are cool too. First time I ever heard her so off to check to some other stuff cheers

[@taylorrenfro1266]

that smile at 13:39! i love

[@samuraishampoo7]

I hear some Joani Mitchell, Kristine Leschper from Mothers, a little Aimee Mann, and even some dr. Dog and Bob Dylan in her voice. And with the band its just amazing.

[@Hardbody94]

Nice

[@tonymcmanus2146]

Sounds like the velvets. Totally class

[@superhans7989]

so rare for me to like female artists. Love her vocals.

[@btrixlestrange6432]

dat voice

[@lubrian]

She's a great singer that I discovered recently. Because of Sky Ferreira's hint. :)

[@ethiopianjokeshurt]

The second song is really good.

[@earthsurfacepeople]

anyone else fall in love on Lights Out?

[@PhillyPhish]

Great stuff. Like to hear her perform some Hank Williams songs.

[@iniquus]

Mutantes influence. Great feeling.

[@AnthonySFM]

lights out.

[@jistikoff2361]

Sonic Youth influence, guitar and drums sound.

[@roxybaby5291]

ya'll ready

[@maximpervushkin8115]

She is sensible and smart. Much more than average man.

[@thedunkmanfresh]

i want to make a time machine to go back and put a shirt or something over that snare.

[@thatmanckid]

+skin conditions that central snare for sure

[@Diego-ji6ep]

esse narizim

[@s.t.7630]

She reminds me of Ellie from Wolf Alice

[@codiserville593]

Oh I could hear a resemblance

[@Tina-fq1iz]

[@QiszAziz]

Does anyone realized the lead guitarist's t-shirt has something wrong? :3
