Angel Olsen shares cover of Men Without Hats' "Safety Dance"

Olsen's version of "Safety Dance" is the second cover to be shared from Aisles, after announcing the EP with her own take on Laura Branigan’s "Gloria" earlier this month.

Speaking about the cover, Olsen says, "I felt this song could be reinterpreted to be about this time of quarantine and the fear of being around anyone or having too much fun. It made me wonder, is it safe to laugh or dance or be free of it all for just a moment?"

Aisles, which will follow her May Sharon Van Etten collaboration "Like I Used To", was recorded late last year at Asheville's Drop of Sun Studios alonngside co-producer and engineer Adam McDaniel.

The EP will also include Olsen's versions of songs by Billy Idol, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and Alphaville.

Olsen says, "I know it’s not really in my history to do something unintentional or just for the hell of it, but my connection to these songs is pretty straightforward, I just wanted to have a little fun and be a little more spontaneous, and I think I needed to remember that I could!"
