John Waters hits the Aladdin, Milagro rewrites Dickens, and NW Dance Project fills your winter cup.
Singer Angel Olsen’s latest, All Mirrors, is the shimmering baroque freak-out she’s been hinting at for years—full-throated choruses, swelling orchestral strings, fur-donned, high-haired concept art. It’s also, for one of indie’s preeminent sadgirls, a turn toward hope. “I’m happy, and it’s great,” she recently told Fader. On songs like “Tonight,” she puts the music where her mouth is: “I like the air that I breathe / I like the thoughts that I think / I like the life that I lead.” Dec 9, Roseland from Portland Monthly
