Watch: Angel Olsen Airs ‘Hi-Five’ Video

The full-band strut of Angel Olsen’s new record ‘Burn Your Fire For No Witness’ might bear claims that she’s surrounded by musicians all the time, but the video for ‘Hi-Five’ wipes those presumptions away, showing that Angel’s still very much in her own orbit.

Showing a choreographed performance of Olsen dancing her way through the Twist, it’s a gold-spangled, glittering homage to similar routines from the 50s and 60s. Angel harks back by stating: ‘These (performances) were always so wild and psychedelic and humorous from afar. The more you watch them, the more wooden and awkward the performances become. There is a certain loneliness captured. The song ‘Hi-Five’ seems to contain the same sort of duality.”

Olsen’s ‘Burn Your Fire For No Witness’ record is out via Jagjaguwar on 17th February.
