Leading up to the release of Aisles, Angel Olsen's upcoming EP of 1980s covers, the singer-songwriter has shared her own take on Billy Idol's 1983 hit, "Eyes Without a Face." The track serves as the official follow-up to previous covers, Laura Branigan's "Gloria" and Men Without Hats' "Safety Dance," both of which are also set to appear on the EP. After sharing "Like I Used To," her duet with Sharon Van Etten, Olsen said Aisles was her way "to have a little fun and be a little more spontaneous."

Back in May, Olsen reissued her 2019 and 2020 albums All Mirrors and Whole New Mess along with remixes and the outtakes collection Far Away as part of the Song Of The Lark And Other Far Memories box set.
