It has me leaning in to listen. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/artists\/15392685\/leonard-cohen\">Leonard Cohen<\/a> does that, too, and it&#8217;s a fine line to walk between pale and enchanting. These are delicate songs, with lyrics stripped to their essence. &#8220;White Fire,&#8221; the song that has the title of the album buried deep within, dispenses one killer line after another, including this:<div class=\"quotemark \">I heard my mother thinking me right back into my birth<br \/>I laughed so loud inside myself it all began to hurt<div class=\"quote-source\"><\/div><div class=\"quote-rating-0\"><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/blogs\/therecord\/2011\/12\/22\/142189857\/john-congleton-meet-indie-rocks-unsung-hero-of-2011\">John Congleton<\/a> produced <em>Burn Your Fire for No Witness<\/em>, a record full of songs that took shape in Asheville, N.C., last summer. Olsen is working with a new band, including Josh Jaeger on drums and bass player Stewart Bronaugh. With Congleton&#8217;s help, the trio found ways to make these songs calm and combustible. I&#8217;ve been living with this music for a few months, and it&#8217;s become my friend, my comfort; it shakes me, saddens me and lifts me.  <\/p>\n<div class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2014 NPR.
