Covering 'Safety Dance' is galaxy brain stuff and I love this version of it so deeply. The whole album is a joy.
Favorite track: Safety Dance.

Some clever reinventions of 80s Pop that probably everybody knows who grew up in that era. To hear it stripped of uneccesary kitsch brings out the hidden quality of the music. The songs in here are actually quite different. Gloria probably gains the most because Olsens Version seems oddly fitting for the sad lyrics.
Favorite track: Gloria.

"…arguably one of America's finest singer-songwriters, whose dark and moody dream-pop songs are woven with the rich strands of Americana, whose voice is at one both a murmur and a roar, and whose stage presence is unparalleled… an artist who can take a standard and make it her own…"

Track 1 is by Poppy Jean Crawford, 2 by Coffin Prick, 3 by Sarah Grace White, 4 by Maxim Ludwig, and 5 by Camp Saint Helene. And the remaining tracks, by Olsen, are covers of the same artists, in the same order.

half Angel Olsen plus some other wonderful artists. A wonderful not album that starts with a banger before hitting mellow

A criminally slept-on album
Favorite track: Silberfisch.

This album is at the frontier of dub and electronica. Ver smooth, with delays and quite textured, but also very smooth and somehow relaxing. If you like either genre, you shold definitively lend it an ear.
Favorite track: Berlin.

A classic. Fascinating on its face. But you can also put this on in the background instead of those inane "lo-fi beats for studying" channels and watch your grades go through the roof.
Favorite track: Kirschenessen.

Just chill and dissect this awesome piece of work, a fantastic dubbed out trip that's hard to categorize. There are so many generic dub techno artists that all sound the same today... pole was and is truly original.
Wish the scape bonus tracks were included in this release!
Favorite track: Streit.
