| Angel Olsen | All Mirrors

According to Frederick O’Brien: “For all the old masters Olsen echoes during the album’s 49-minute runtime, this is unquestionably her sound. Shivering strings dance with feather-light synthesizers, which make way for her vocals whenever she breaks the surface and turns up the noise. It’s a luscious, delightful trip. A huge shoutout must go to Ben Babbitt, who is responsible for a hefty chunk of the instrumentation….Olsen’s vocals are gorgeous, the mix is great, the arrangements are even better, and the songwriting is imaginative and powerful. It’s a really, really great album and it deserves your time.”
