Not really enamored by Angel Olsen's drift into high quality production, it lacks the ethereal that makes Strange Cacti such a powerful piece for me. And even on My Woman, Shut Up Kiss Me isn't the best track. But I'm here for it, it's evocative of some classic glamor as Skinny said and you know what I actually kind of like the fuzz. Using the piano to emphasize percussion (it's justttttt there if you strain for it) is a solid production choice too. When I listen to Night Beds I just hear worse Imogen Heap

I haven't been able to get into anything Angel Olsen has done, this track included. It's a decent indie rock track but I think the guitar during the chorus kills whatever momentum the chorus had. That said, I'm voting for Shut Up Kiss Me over country James Blake.

This admittedly happens a lot to me and I wonder if it's me or the track.

Oddly enough I dig Andrew's track more. It's quite intimate and ethereal.

I read your commend before listening to the track and couldn't get your rendition out of my head.

Luckily I looked up the lyrics and started hearing it right:

I'm not head-over-heels in love with 'Shut Up Kiss Me', but it's fun and catchy and strutting, and it aims for a sense of classic glamour and sticks the landing, even among the fuzz. I can't remember anything about the other song, and it literally just finished.

Pretty much

Yeah I really enjoyed Velvet River, but Shut Up Kiss Me is an excellent song and gets my vote. Great video too.

Velvet River is quite lovely! I’m probably gonna vote for Olsen, but it’s closer than I thought it would be.

Well, I already know there's no shot of my pick beating an Angel Olsen track... and a really good one at that. But hope people at least give Velvet River a listen and that someone enjoys it. I can never get enough of its second half.

Totally! It's quite beautiful!
