This feature originally published and aired on episode 356 (Sept. 2, 2016) of Dinner Party Download from American Public Media.

Angel Olsen is an Asheville, N.C.-based singer and guitarist. She made a name for herself with haunting vocals and harmonic soundscapes that draw on everything from psychedelia to country-western music. Her much-anticipated sophomore album, called “My Woman,” just released on Sept. 2, 2016. She also performed a few songs at our live show in St. Paul, Minn., last year. Here she is with a party playlist.

Check out the complete Episode 356 of Dinner Party Download; guests include Craig Robinson and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
