  • "While spending time conquering the sound of live streaming performances at home, I got to know my friend Adam McDaniel, an engineer and producer in Asheville, NC, better. Adam and I had known each other for years. When the band was a bit smaller, I often rented his studio, Drop of Sun, for pre-recording / pre-tour rehearsals. The summer of 2020 was difficult for many reasons. But Adam and his wife Emily opened their home to me and made it a safe space to create and let go. I had the idea to record some covers and bring some of the band into the mix, or add other players. I wanted to record 80s songs that I overheard while walking through the grocery store, and I needed to laugh and have fun and generally take the recording process a little less seriously. I thought about completely changing some of the songs and turning them around. I had first heard "Gloria" by Laura Branigan at a family Christmas gathering and was amazed at all the aunts getting up to dance. I imagined them all dancing and laughing in slow motion, and that's when I got the idea to slow down the entire song and try it out that way. I felt like "Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats could be reinterpreted as being about that time of quarantine and the fear of being with someone or having too much fun. It made me wonder if it's safe to laugh or dance or just be free of everything for a moment. I know it's not really in my history to do anything unintentionally or just because, but my connection to these songs is pretty direct, I just wanted to have a little fun and be a little more spontaneous, and I think I needed to remember that I can do that!" - Angel Olsen
