Angel is one of the best lyricists I've ever seen! Paired with her voice and the simple guitar and her ability to transmit and evoke so much emotion, it's just magical. We have all been blessed!
I adore Angel and i'm glad to see her get back to her folkier roots. This was magic. I loved the porch setting and the nature sounds - it was visceral and it felt like we were sitting there with her.
All Mirrors is my favorite album of hers, but there’s something so authentic about her acoustic work on Whole New Mess that is so endearing. Love her so much
I've listened to her music for 9 years now and I wouldn't be the same person without having heard it. This is yet another gem . Please keep this video posted! Thanks for sharing this show
Looks like she's muttering a shopping list to herself. Sounds like a beautifully produced and comped album-quality studio recording. So casually incredible.
" just because you love someone doesn't mean you're in love" . Thank you, Ms. Olsen for so eloquently putting what's so heavy on my heart into music. 🙏🖤
Angel's music has helped me through some difficult times and everytime she releases something, be a new record or a new performance is like opening a present from a stranded but dear friend.
Healing from a shattered heart... "Now baby, I'm lying Laid out and smiling Look out my window The sun is shining I'm waving, smiling At love forever Alive and dying I'm waving, smiling At love forever Alive and dying" Angel, you always got me in my feels!
Angel olsen is a force of nature. There are very few out there with raw talent and passion like this. She’s truly special and her voice reminds me of being around a campfire in fall at sunset.
The Heart Of A Blackbird -- No sweat. Me either. I was just saying that you managed to put a name to some question that was wafting around in my head. Cheers
I wish I could compare myself to somebody. I don't see myself reflected out there in the world. I mean, I write what I like, and I get positive feedback, but people seem to go gaga for music that I just don't get. But that could be the ASD. (Sorry...just thinking out loud.)
Her guitar playing makes me think of a deer kid playing 3rubber bands on an old cigar box, two "chords" maybe. And her odd haunting, plaintive, and oh so lovely voice, takes me there. "California" is my absolute favorite. Anything close is just more heaven. Love that guitar. It's a thumb thing.
everyone knows she can rock, but its always a joy to share Iota with my friends who are getting into her music. its a personal favorite, and it still sounds just as good as it does on the album. can't believe its been 6 years since burn your fire for no witness.
What an incredible artist. Both live and in studio. Her brilliance always leaves me floored with admiration. God, we really deserve this talent. What an angel
Picture it. It’s autumn. A cool 52 degrees outside. The sun is just beginning to make her appearance. Rain is lightly tapping on the roof. You just poured a cup of coffee (or tea). You take it over to the sofa where you curl up with a warm blanket for a few minutes before you start your day. And this is what you’re listening to while sipping on your fresh brew. ❤️
Ugh I’m crying I just love Angel so much. Listened to Waving, smiling so many times in the past year. Can’t wait to see her on the Wild Hearts Tour ❤️🔥
this performance just tucked me in bed and kissed my forehead and sent me to sleep
literally me right now it's past 11pm i'm outtt

miss Olsen providing us with crying material
this is my favorite version of Waiving, Smiling
You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Angel Olsen

One of the greatest songwriters alive

Birds chirped right back when she said goodbye. So wholesome this concert is.
I am so glad I clicked in here despite not knowing her.
one thing about her? she’s here to make us cry. simply.
Sweet Angel Olsen and her sweet Silvertone Thin Twin 1382L Jimmy Reed.
I love the beautiful treetop-porch venue. Thank you NPR!
Chip Olmstead thanks, I was straining my eyes looking at the headstock decal .
Wanted to ask about the guitar. Thanks for answering my question before I asked!
Thanks for the instrument info

Angel is the best lyricist I‘ve ever come across hands down!

NPR Tiny Desk sessions keeping our hearts warm during these messy times. Highly appreciated would be an understatement

Finally, something from the goddess herself to brighten the lost ones. the only thing that I cherish in 2020.
Healing from a shattered heart...
"Now baby, I'm lying
Laid out and smiling
Look out my window
The sun is shining
I'm waving, smiling
At love forever
Alive and dying
I'm waving, smiling
At love forever
Alive and dying"
Angel, you always got me in my feels!
There's something sooo magical about this recording. The ambient wind blowing sound with angel's voice. Authentic.
can't stop listening to this Tiny Desk. She is so amazing

Whenever she sings i feel drawn to simpler times and deeper enjoyment of song. Beautiful performance in a serene place.
Whole New Mess is beautiful in such a wonderfully heartbreaking way, makes me cry but in a good way

one of the most beautiful voices around. beautiful guitar tone here, too. wow wow wow
Her voice is otherworldly. Superb solo mini set. One of the best I've seen of her.
I love "What is it." 🖤
I m glad she brought Iota back ❤
i love how she ends with waving, smiling and how it's written from the perspective of the person she's saying goodbye to
Amazing vibes. Idk how she does it, but weird chords sounds magical and her voice is truly unique.
How we break each other's hearts
And cause each other pain
How we take each other's love
Without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Spot on
I didn't mean this as derogatory...I even write songs that sound like Harrison sometimes. He is not a bad guy to emulate. :)
The Heart Of A Blackbird -- No sweat. Me either. I was just saying that you managed to put a name to some question that was wafting around in my head. Cheers
what a wonderful way to start my day... maybe today will be the day i finally do it
I much prefer this style of Tiny Desk actually ❤️
"Waving, smiling" got me...the feels....
This version of Iota is just heaven. Pure style and ease.
I hadn't heard Waving, Smiling before. Wow! Just beautiful.
I love Angel. She’s so singular, I can never find anyone to compare her to, when I tell a new listener.

for anyone wondering, the microphone that she's using is an AKG C414 XLII
I truly adore Angel. Her music makes me long for love and beauty.
Every time i hear her Time slows down. Right down. So beautiful.
I think this is one of my new most favorite tiny desks
If the evening took me, and this was the last set I would hear. I would leave happily and grateful. Thank you, Angel Olsen.
Iota is a masterpiece
Her guitar playing makes me think of a deer kid playing 3rubber bands on an old cigar box, two "chords" maybe. And her odd haunting, plaintive, and oh so lovely voice, takes me there. "California" is my absolute favorite. Anything close is just more heaven. Love that guitar. It's a thumb thing.

An Angel indeed. Her voice is the most exquisite instrument I've ever heard.
She's the only Angel I believe in.
That's right. I said it.
Standing ovation, what a special performance.
Your melancholy and sad sound it helps to take out my sad and melancholy. Thanks Angel
She is so unique. Gotta love her.
such a treat to hear iota nestled around the stellar new tracks! 🌠💞🌿
excuse me, why doesn't this have more views????????????????
B/c people sleep on Angel and I don’t understand why! I truly believe she is one of our generations most important artists
That is one cool looking guitar!!

She’s always so good
BRO THE SCENERY-
That last song was amazing, her pitch. Love her voice
Ahhh omg I was just watching her Tiny Desk concerts from a couple years ago, and I checked back today to keep watching and there's a new one!!
Her voice is so beautiful. Parts of it remind me of Roy Orbison- mournful, gossamer, plaintive, hopeful. Her choice of chords, too, is so good.
I truly enjoy seeing the artists in the spaces. I know this has been introvert heaven. I hope one day we can get to see sauti sol on this channel
I literally just covered "may as well" on my acoustic for a girl I like last week. This is such a blessing, thank you npr.
So good. Waving, Smiling makes me cry and it's my therapy now. love you
Thanks for the beautiful music!
Love Angel Olsen and my fav song ever is Iota. Thnks NPR again
Waving, Smiling is magical. Just when I needed this most 💔💝💖🙏
one of my all time favorite humans
Beautiful angel
She's magical
Your music is such a treat, I find I want to think of nothing else when I am listening. Waving, Smiling mesmerized by ears. Such a gift, both ways.

@@chrispolo840 thank you I will check them out
This woman is a ray of sunshine
a national treasure
Something about the 3 striations in the wood on the guitar is so charming. I want to run my fingers along them and sense the memory they impressed.
What an amazing artist, and such beautiful music ❤️
thank you for sharing your music. You are beautiful.
