I find it impossible to listen to the recent Angel Olson stuff, this is rare for me, the All Mirrors album is horrible on everything I've played it on.
What do others think?
I have to agree with you, although in this case it's clearly an "artistic choice"(probably the producer) to do the effects and deliberately make the material have a specific sound. Producers are like that. Since they're not the musical talent, and never will be, they want to make things sound different as a way of putting their stamp on the material.
However, I have to disagree with you on this song.
I'd never heard of her before your post and this one song has knocked me on my ass. I've listened to it a dozen times since yesterday.
Yes, the production is what it is. But I can't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
What an incredible song. In this case it doesn't matter what system I've played it on. It's the song that matters.
I'm sorry it's "impossible" for you to listen to. But I thank you sincerely for broadening my musical horizons and posting it!
