As announced last month, Angel Olsen will release her new album, Burn Your Fire for No Witness, on February 18, 2014 via Jagjaguwar. Throughout this “collection of songs, grown in a year of heartbreak, travel, and transformation.” With the help of producer John Congleton, her music now crackles with a churning, rumbling low end and a brighter energy.

After sharing Burn Your Fire for No Witness‘s first single, “Forgiven/Forgotten,” Olsen now offers a visual representation with the song’s brand new video directed by creative partner, Zia Anger. Olsen and Zia’s collaborative trajectory continues following their work together on videos for 7″ single, “Sweet Dreams,” and Half Way Home‘s “Tiniest Seed.”

 I traveled to Asheville with a couple rolls of 16mm film and a Bolex camera. The only idea Angel and I had decided on was that she should be given a chance to act – to perform in a way most people have never seen her perform. Upon arriving I was immediately struck by the beautiful and unruly area of Malvern Hills. Suburbia had never spoken to me like that before. Our idea morphed into a suburban fantasy just as lawless as its backdrop. It is complete with a ‘Freaks and Geeks’-inspired lovers quarrel that ends with the male character physically being hand-scratched out of the film.” – Zia Anger
