How are you with eye contact?
Some people, of course, are naturally uncomfortable looking into the eyes of people for periods of time that would seem to necessitate a potentially awkward make-out session, and that demographic was probably only okay with seeing Angel Olsen perform while she was on her first solo tour in four years last year. Audience members were obligated to look at the burgeoning singer-songwriter for roughly an hour, lest they be accused of insufficient fandom and/or a possible curious infatuation with the venue’s ordinary monitor set-up. Oh won’t somebody please help these ommetaphobes avert their eyes in a way that’s both inconspicuous and consistent with enjoying Olsen’s music in a live setting?! Don’t most concert venues have at least one amateur magician on hand?!>
Wait. Scratch that. A backing band is way more thematically consistent. Check the dates for Olsen’s upcoming North American tour below. The regular presence of a full band should beckon fleeting looks even among the fans without anxiety, so nobody’ll have any idea. You’re in the clear. Bring on the multiple eyeball pairs.
