ANGEL OLSEN just unveiled White Fire, another haunting new song from her upcoming album Burn Your Fire For No Witness (out February 18th via Jagjaguwar). Of course White Fire does not deal with ‘fire’, but with words. And there also has to be a ‘black fire’ when there is a ‘white fire’, right? Both come from the Torah, where the letters are called black fire, while white fire are the white spaces between the letters and around the characters. Only both together create the whole Torah. The black fire is what is the literal meaning of a text. The white fire represents ideas, interpretations and hints behind a text. Not only in the Torah but in every text and every communication there is both black and white fire. Sometimes what is really meant should be searched in the White Fire. In her new song ANGEL OLSEN probably wants you to read between the lines. Enjoy the breathtaking song which is is named Sound of the Night. Definitely a reason to look forward to the release of Burn Your Fire For No Witness.
