[@janecabrera5734]

[@dexstar168]

Single & ready to mingle

[@Volgrus]

I glanced down at this comment, thought about it for a second, and laughed out loud

[@g1g2g3g4g5gt]

I really can't believe Angel Olsen is real.

[@deadringer333]

Right! I thought she was a figment of my imagination

[@thomasrainbow]

She is real life

[@idance4catpower]

we could probably be friends. i feel a tiny bit safer in this world now. live long and prosper, young one.

[@Nayooo]

she's an angel

[@somebodysnobody2616]

See last comment

[@strictlynorton]

The sound engineer at KEXP is a sonic savage!!! Listen to that mix. Crystal clean. Wow. Hats off to you.... Angel O you rule my heart.

[@julysuprise]

I have watched this video so many times and you are spot on.

[@vileguile4]

Few album recordings sound this good. Great source material and performance for sure but everything is mixed so good. Oh jes....... the buildup at 31:30

[@Wankerstew]

Sonic savage indeed

[@JGlassy]

Agreed. Great performance by Angel and her band. It sounded unusually crisp with very well mixed sound!

[@johndillinger5142]

for sho jus thinkin that ring panning? or hes of his chops and just pumpin it either way i love u. so many frequency's . love the pink shiny ultrablast vibes aswell in the middle heard this thinking it was recent more shiny ultra esk slaps 2017 damm i still want more

[@Sirmackerel]

This might be my favorite recorded Angel Olsen set ever.

[@lunch_meats_etc]

The vocals from 17:38 to 18:04 ARE UNREAL. that vocal control is otherworldly. It's almost like she has the capacity to not only emit those sounds, but then the additional capacity to take a step back and watch the waves come out of her own mouth.

[@KenKenTheDrummer]

Never be Mine has to be one of the most heartbreaking and perfect songs ever. This is magic

[@somebodysnobody2616]

Bless you be well ONE love BE THE LIGHT

[@bridgeb8281]

woman is such an underrated song

[@marcynadler7326]

Angel is absurdly talented. I can't stop listening.

[@VTECheart]

Woman is an epic track. Sister is amazing also. Well... the whole album was.

[@SimonRobeyns]

Intern sounded crazy live too.

[@FabioVaz1990]

Song "Woman" is just... Incredible. Angel's voice is like... from another reality.

[@hugomaillard9671]

0:38 - Never Be Mine 5:10 - Intern 13:34 - Woman 24:44 - Total Control (The Motels)

[@Gforcebond]

thanks bro I tried to shazam the woman song no dice

[@daisysweetwater]

her voice is so beautiful and unique and her sound is so crisp, lyrics are beautiful and she's just absolutely amazing! She lives in my hometown too so I'm always hoping to run into her..

[@duncanwcraig9668]

i only discovered Angel Olsen last year. My Woman, what an album. Going to dive into her other records now.

[@lisacolbert5987]

We’re quite fortunate that she’s so prolific. I’m still finding gems.

[@rjtkoh]

That scream at the end of Woman gets me everytime...

[@carlotd93]

Intern is one of the most beautiful and mesmerizing songs I have ever heard. I feel like it’s just about everyday life and no matter how hard it gets you gotta keep moving. Everybody wants to be somebody and no matter how far you get and how much you have there will always be somebody better. Thanks for the passionate music Angel 🙏🏼

[@1theravada]

I love seeing musicians play music because they love to play music, and for no other reason. Love this.

[@nicksharich4957]

First time I watched this I bawled my eyes out and I never cry. :D

[@eavino6748]

My thoughts are that below. Just so unbelievably beautifuly. I want to make up all of the words that I feel.

[@hestonblumenthal4263]

Damn it! I needed sister live :(

[@DRALGIERS]

Heston Blumenthal it's like Led Zeppelin not singing stairway to heaven.

[@pukakeneki905]

Uhuh & ❤️shaped Face too

[@willclarkneptune]

It took me forever to think of who her voice reminds me of but it finally hit me: Mazzy Star

[@larsf.4515]

Best recording (live or studio) of Never Be Mine EVER.

[@2bin]

Motherfuckin' agree!

[@elenamoran1809]

I loved it!

[@viachicago]

Without a doubt.

[@yamatejames5721]

It is sounding like Angel Olsen and her new set of band members are all continuing to sound better each performance. I've seen Angel Olsen live about four times, three times with her past band lineup and once with this newly formed lineup. This KEXP show is definitely one of the best live recordings I have ever heard from Angel and her band. When I saw them in October this past year they were amazing, but it was still hard to get used to seeing Angel with such a big band surrounding her, especially since she used to perform as a solo artist at the start of her career. From watching and listening to this video, I can start to see that Angel and her band have never fit so well together. The back up vocalist/keyboard player does not look as awkward standing there anymore, the two new guitarists have finally seemed to settle in place of Stewart, Angel's previous guitarist. And of course, Josh and Emily continue to keep it real as always. The sound of Angel Olsen continues to evolve, personally I think it has never been better. If you get the chance to see her live in your area I highly recommend not missing out, her voice is incredible to hear in person. There is always a personality she tries to bring to each performance and I cannot wait to see what kind of music she can bring to the table next...even if she went back to a solo career for a while. I believe Angel Olsen will always keep bringing the world great material with her heart warming presence. Now go listen to all her albums and see her live four times if you haven't already!!!

[@luv4soccerjuju]

wow really, where have you seen her live? I wonder if she is on tour?

[@simonemariani1450]

Yes, she is. I suggest you Bandsintown's app, it tracks you tour dates of you favorite artists. Angel is kinda in Europe's tour this May and June.

[@cliffmaison]

Aaaargh missed the Europe dates :-( maybe next time...

[@vb9239]

@@cliffmaison it’s 4 years since your comment, but she’s touring now. Saw her in July and again last week. I hope you get to see her live, she’s awesome!

[@alondz]

Angel's name is so fitting cause she sounds like an angel

[@TheWoah]

The sound quality is off the charts.

[@50ShadesOfEndo]

She is the fucking greatest, My Woman is one of my favourite ever albums

[@nathanjamesbaker]

It's good, but Burn Your Fire For No Witness was better.

[@cl8804]

It's close. Cacti, though...

[@johncoveney5021]

Still my favorite album of 2016

[@SomeoneJr]

Half way home is my fave

[@cl8804]

Interesting. It's the worst by far, although a few tracks are among Olsen's best.

[@MrSuperXToast]

Where are you when we need you Cheryl? :'(

[@cl8804]

"THANK YOU SHARON!"

[@joshmichelsohn2417]

omg is that a reference to war on drugs' appearance? hahaha

[@cl8804]

A keen observation.

[@joshmichelsohn2417]

too funny.

[@strictlynorton]

Drew B totally agree. Cheryl is the earth mother of KEXP. A genuine music fan and the least phony human being you will ever meet. The artists love her for that!

[@ayimayindeeay]

This is probably my favorite version of “Woman”...this whole set is 🔥🔥🔥

[@khuongtran1295]

To the audio engineer and KEXP crew, you guys are the best, whenever I listen to every artist live on KEXP the sound quality is absolutely spot on, great mix and great recordings. I love Angel Olsen so much. Love to see her live one day.

[@KamenMinkov]

Yeah, like a slap in the face of Rick Rubin and everyone he's influenced in a bad way. Loudness war needs to become a thing of the past.

[@wilsonabbey]

that performance of woman!!! you've got to be kidding me

[@theolawrence8492]

enjoyed the drummer's cheeky look when he gets to use his felt beaters on the cymbals in the first track. just started listening to Angel Olsen and glad to have found this artist

[@toby2281]

her voice destroys my soul

[@jojodeez8081]

This chicks voice is mesmerizing..and not because im high..her guitar tone sounds amazing too..

[@streamingavalanche]

I like it when she makes my teeth vibrate, what a voice!

[@rhynneross7741]

Holy shit. Now that's some music I can get down to.

[@JamesHunterRoss]

I'm a fan! She is the real deal, no compromise, endless passion, piles of talent. What a doll...

[@viniciuseneas4036]

"I didn't want to make people flip the record after three songs". When I thought my love for this woman couldn't get any stronger...

[@nadiaoemar82]

I have just discovered Angel Olson through 13 Reasons Why soundtrack, now I am obsessed with her music! Love you girl!

[@charmanuel04]

Oh Angel, heaven hits me when i see your face and when i hear all of your songs

[@LeahBushman]

I love this performance! Angel kills it, and the Total Control cover is a wonderfully delightful cherry on top

[@tgurycz89]

I think I just melted dead away at 3:32

[@tablon8539]

OMG yes why she looks at my soul

[@miriamzora]

If Stevie Nicks and Roy Orbison had a baby...Listening to her is a dream.

[@remotecody]

Grace Slick

[@alantaylorfc]

Everything about this is perfect in every way..

[@benjamincartwright3239]

It is great hearing a band perform their songs after the addition of some new members. While "Woman" was performed similarly to how it was on the record, "Never Be mine" and "Intern" seemed worlds apart from the album recordings. The performance overall felt very hidden and quiet, but this interested me even more than if Angel was just rocking it out with the band. Angel Olsen's Discography is quite amazing and every full length and the EP they have released has shared something new and beautiful. Wish there was a little more commentary between the host and Angel. That has definitely been a big part of KEXP performances for me.

[@birdy1numnum]

What a fantastic performance - great sound KEXP! Thanks. The DJ sounds like the woman version of John in the Morning with the same inflection and cadence.

[@julysuprise]

this is such a beautiful performance.

[@pukakeneki905]

Coming from an endless place, heaven hits me when I see your face

[@shallowmartian]

ALL KEXP MASTERS ARE BEAUTIFUL

[@LogicTheSyllogisms]

I just fell in love again with someone I already loved. I didn't think enough was enough but I guess that's just how I feel about Angel Olsen

[@garethblack9264]

the part in Woman where the music gets quiet again is sooo stunning

[@noveenbajpai2859]

WOW. they sound fantastic

[@VeronicaBordon76]

KEXP, siempre dando muestras de artistas exquisitos. Son los mejores! Gracias por esta delicadeza llamada Angel Olsen.

[@nemiixvera1911]

Veronica Bordon pienso que es una de las mejores performances que ha habido en KEXP.

[@VeronicaBordon76]

A mi me gustaron muchísimo las presentaciónes de ALT-J, Bomba Estereo y Juana Molina.

[@draver21]

i fully expect to see these guys performing "Never Be Mine" during the closing credits of a "Twin Peaks: The Return" episode soon.

[@paleo747]

Superlative performance, superlative artist.

[@lyssword]

She's hypnotizing!

[@jamesadamscherub100]

I'm going to see her in Belfast love this ❤️

[@tittyfrance3540]

[@karliegilbert3917]

WHO WOULD DISLIKE THIS

[@TheSeiferal]

Saw her in Paris, June. Perfect entrance.

[@h.astley2113]

I fucking died around the 3:50 mark when she looked into the camera and smiled

[@pzilla3612]

Damn. KSuggs bringing the heat again. Sounds incredible. Good work.

[@strictlynorton]

P Zilla so true. Suggs is savage!

[@somebodysnobody2616]

You are an angel And I am real A thousand blessings upon you One love BE THE LIGHT

[@FreshBluntsNChronik]

oh my vibrato -- incredible

[@goplacia]

Thank you!

[@alonsoalvites7264]

love her, my favorite album of 2016

[@JukeBlue]

Total Control was a massive hit in Australia way back when it came out, but didn't seem to fare as well elsewhere. Such an awesome track. Nice work.

[@goetia13]

Great live performance.

[@BernardColdwell]

Amazing sound, much enjoyed this clip and band !

[@nnathenn]

The Total Control cover is great!

[@Warrogue1]

I hadn't read the set list but recognized the tune from the first few notes. I agree; she did a nice job with it.

[@bwm_72]

Doesn't hold a candle to this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2nWkml5pLJ7bac Hugo Race and Amanda Palmer - Rockwiz S10 Ep129 - Total Control

[@fr1702]

Saw Angel this year in Dallas at Trees was one of the highlights of my yeae

[@fr1702]

Year*

[@letmeknowhowthatgoes]

beyond legit.

[@somebodysnobody2616]

Nailed it Truly a 1 of 1

[@edwardontong616]

Never be Mine gets me every time

[@mantra3000]

The voice is always what makes the difference between a band you like and a band you hate.

[@davelabno]

Hot damn, loved the Total Control cover!

[@globalacidreset]

That was awesome!

[@alisonhenley1365]

one of my favorite artists

[@emmmmaluv]

what a fab voice!!! im in love!!

[@David-si5fu]

This is legit QUALITY. Bravo

[@emilymo6119]

This is amazing

[@Elaine-oo4qp]

Whoa, nice to hear her cover The Motels!

[@strictlynorton]

Elaine Pondini knowlegeable as well as cool as a penguin's flipper

[@lluecaradoc]

Incredible!

[@okapiatear]

Well this is quite incredible.

[@avelucifer]

voz de anjo 💜

[@ricardocarvalho6472]

Essa mulher tem uma voz que G-zus!

[@frankstared]

My god the band smashes The Motels's genius "Total Control" out of the station and beyond the Milky Way.

[@marceloadrianmendodelacruz5451]

i really thank you for this 😭😭❤

[@calebrichardson9573]

no one melts me like she does

[@trevorw2841]

That drummer has one of strangest setups I've ever seen. It's set up for a left handed player (which is unusual to begin with, left handed players usually just play on right handed kits) AND he plays on it right handed. He had solid groove and time though, can't complain.

[@faralefo]

he's left, otherwise he wouldn't use his left foot for the kick drum

[@itscalledsonder3785]

I've seen right-handed people play like this. If they learn on a leftie kit from start, this can happen

[@kimkang6225]

so so good

[@x4ms]

She is so - sorry, I'm speechless at the moment - she defies any definition?

[@somebodysnobody2616]

Agreed

[@colinfuidge8660]

Very brilliant.

[@EMPOWA]

phenomenal

[@TheTinLion]

My favorite album of hers

[@Nardellid]

been waiting for this

[@christophersmith9613]

Incredible.
