Angel Olsen 's newest studio effort, Big Time  (2022), is a lovely and sparse, country-tinged album that strays from its more lush, orchestrated, and sometimes synthesized predecessor, 2019's All  Mirrors . This more organic approach will appeal to fans of  Neko Case  and  Harry Nilsson . Big Time  is a grower, an album that might come off as simplistic on a first listen, but which rewards with subsequent spins, if you're willing to let it envelop you.
