Angel Olsen airs previously unreleased track "Sans"

06 November 2017, 15:35 | Written by Laurence Day

Angel Olsen has shared previously unreleased demo "Sans" ahead of the release of upcoming rarities collection Phases.

The record follows last year's sensational record My Woman and features a range of rarities and demos from throughout Olsen's career, including a selection of unreleased tunes. We've already heard "Special" and "Fly On Your Wall", but now we get the beauty of "Sans" as well.

"'Sans' was a song I wrote in between Burn Your Fire For No Witness and My Woman, something short and simple - but about a big thing in my life: travel and what it can do to the psyche," explains Olsen. "When you're out there and you're working and moving so fast it's difficult to really imagine a time when you were fully realised and known. You know, it's hard enough to be known when you're around! But then there are those people in your life that know you and don't need you around all the time to be or feel close - I suppose it's about that too."
