Cosmic Waves Volume 1 - 12" Black Vinyl

 

Cosmic Waves Volume 1 is a compilation project featuring new, original songs curated by Angel Olsen from Poppy Jean Crawford, Coffin Prick, Sarah Grace White, Maxim Ludwig and Camp Saint Helene on Side A, and a collection of covers from the aforementioned artists performed and recorded by Olsen on Side B. 

A few years ago, Olsen quietly formed somethingscosmic, a new imprint and a home for her to have “the flexibility to release when and how I want to with the help from my longtime partners at Jagjaguwar.” Cosmic Waves Volume 1 is a compilation reimagined as a dialogue. Each song, unsurprisingly, illuminates a new artist Olsen finds spectacular. Hearing Olsen refract these artists’ songs back to them reveals  the depth of Olsen’s imagination and spotlights these new talents as well. These artists draw from a sprawling, myriad sounds, eras and inspirations. Poppy Jean Crawford’s magnetic growl and guitar-god heaviness; Coffin Prick’s reckless, psychedelic fuzz; Sarah Grace White’s hypnotic voice and melody; Maxim Ludwig’s expert minimalism; and Camp Saint Helene’s beautiful, big sky folk.
