Whole New Mess offers a stripped-down, intimate counterpart to Angel Olsen’s All Mirrors. Featuring nine familiar tracks from All Mirrors in rawer, more skeletal forms, this album was recorded in isolation in a century-old church. While All Mirrors showcased Olsen’s scars for the world, Whole New Mess captures her working through them in solitude, making sense of her wounds. These 11 unflinching songs are a poignant reminder that music is more than just notes and lyrics—it’s a reflection of raw emotion and the process of healing, deeply personal yet universally relatable.
