Angel Olsen recently released her fourth album, called All Mirrors. Her initial recordings of the songs were stripped-down, meant to be in the style of Bruce Springsteen’s iconic record, Nebraska. But over time, the music grew into big and lush arrangements involving a 14-piece orchestra that sound nothing like the original takes. We’ll learn why she changed directions and hear the stunning results, as Angel Olsen stops by for a conversation and live studio performance. Coming up, on the next World Cafe with host Stephen Kallao.
