Former Chicago native Angel Olsen made the most of her recent homecoming. She’s hit the road in support of her acclaimed album All Mirrors, and her performance was a kaleidoscope of dramatic strings, ethereal synths and Area 51-worthy strobes.

Tool has always conducted itself as an unconventional anomaly.

Who else but this band could wait 13  years between (arguably non-mainstream) records, knock Taylor Swift of the […]
