Al Olender Presents: Alentine’s Day

Songwriter Al Olender tries to grasp the brief, beautiful moments that make up our lives in slow motion, but finds that the tighter she holds on, the more these frames fall into a soupy blur. Change is our only constant, but what if we wanted to steep in the now? What if we could stay right here? On her second full-length album, The Worrier, Olender captures the anxieties of an ever-moving world with a sweet and silly sincerity, never shying away from staring the truth right in the face. Exploring anxiety, sexuality, and anarchy in herself and her relationships, Olender’s acoustic, bluesy melodies point to the butterflies of first crushes, the gut-punching realities of responsibility, and the eternal romance of friendship.
