Angel Olsen announces 'Song of The Lark and Other Far Memories' box set

Angel Olsen has announced that she will release a box set called Song of the Lark and Other Far Memories, featuring All Mirrors and Whole New Mess, as well as a bonus LP, titled Far Memory, and a 40-page book collection. The box set is due for release on May 7. In conjunction with the announcement, Olsen has also released 'It’s Every Season (Whole New Mess).'

Originally conceived as a double album, All Mirrors and Whole New Mess were distinct parts of a larger whole, that each expressed something bigger and bolder than Angel Olsen had ever made. Now, with Song of the Lark and Other Far Memories, two elements are coming together in the full extent of the songs’ iterations: all the alternate takes, b-sides, remixes and re-imaginings are here, together.

The companion 40-page book collection tells a similar story, not just through outtakes and unseen photos but through the smaller, evocative details: handwritten lyrics, a favorite necklace, a beaded chandelier. As if it could be more plainly stated (there’s nothing more), Angel adds one cover here: a loving, assertive rendition of Roxy Music’s 'More Than This'.
