The month is finally here when Angel Olsen will release her second studio album, Burn Your Fire for No Witness. Leading up to the Jagjaguwar record debut she has been releasing sneak peeks, with a music video for her first single, "Forgiven/Forgotten." She also shared her second single, "Hi-Five," and now the music video is officially out. Directed by Zia Anger, the Anger and Olsen decided to give a not to the pop star performances from the 1960s and 1970s, when the woman would have highly-choreographed moves. Anger says:
"They 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 made an announcement about the new video, along with new upcoming shows. In addition to YouTube, the video is up on VEVO. You can be among the first to watch it.

Many of the added concerts are in May, and some in late April, including two Canada dates. Olsen will be playing SXSW this March.
How do you think the new video compares to "Forgiven/Forgotten"? Will you be getting her album on the 18th?
