Video: Angel Olsen: "Hi-Five"

[DudeAsInCool]

Following the clip for "Forgiven/Forgotten", Angel Olsen has shared another video directed by Zia Anger from her upcoming album Burn Your Fire for No Witness (out February 18 through Jagjaguwar). This one's for "Hi-Five", and it features female singers in a 1960s/70s-style telecast doing dance numbers in front of flashy sets.

In a press release, Anger said of the video's 1960s and 1970s television inspiration:

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 has also announced a new batch of tour dates. Check them out below the video.
