Indie singer/songwriter Angel Olsen is following up her critically-acclaimed fifth album Whole New Mess with an EP of 1980s covers! Titled Aisles, the EP will be released August 20 and includes covers of Billy Idol's "Eyes Without A Face," Men Without Hats' "Safety Dance," OMD's "If You Leave," and Alphaville's "Forever Young," and her dark and moody take on Laura Branigan's "Gloria" which you can hear below.
"I'd heard "Gloria" for the first time at a family Christmas gathering and was amazed at all the aunts who got up to dance," Olsen says. "I imagined them all dancing and laughing in slow motion, and that's when I got the idea to slow the entire song down and try it out in this way."
