    You can get lost in the whole EP, which possesses all the quality and thought of a full-formed album, but flickers by like the yellow windows of a train in the dark, travelling on to somewhere new.

    Forever Means is not just a B-side compilation; these songs sound distinct from each other but somehow come together cohesively.

    Perhaps a less confident artist would be tempted to finish on a grand crescendo, but Angel Olsen has made a masterful record that both requires and earns a little patience.

    With these outtakes, Olsen zooms out and reveals some of the rockier steps along her journey toward self-discovery.

    It does not amount to a classic statement, but I don’t think she anticipates it as such. It provides a coda for Big Time, completing a set of thoughts begun with that album’s recording. It reaffirms her rising status as a worthy successor to esteemed figures like Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin, and Iris DeMent.
