Sharon Van Etten and Angel Olsen have combined for a new single, Like I Used To.
The impassioned, country-leaning indie-rock duet was produced by John Congleton, who has worked with both influential artists in the past.
It comes with a video directed by Kimberly Stuckwisch, and was shot around Los Angeles and Joshua Tree. Van Etten said:
"Even though we weren't super close, I always felt supported by Angel and considered her a peer in this weird world of touring. We highway high-fived many times along the way… I finally got the courage in June of 2020 to reach out to see if she would want to sing together. I got greedy and quickly sent her a track I had been working on."
Olsen added: "I've met with Sharon here and there throughout the years and have always felt too shy to ask her what she’s been up to or working on. The song reminded me immediately of getting back to where I started, before music was expected of me, or much was expected of me, a time that remains pure and real in my heart."
Van Etten released her latest album, 'Remind Me Tomorrow', in 2019. Olsen, meanwhile, put out 'Whole New Mess' in 2020, followed by the 'Song Of The Lark and Other Far Memories' box set earlier this May. She is due to tour Australia in May and June, subject to coronavirus restrictions.
