American folk and indie rock singer and guitarist, Angel Olsen, was raised in St. Louis, Missouri. With her captivating voice and introspective lyrics, she has gained a loyal following around the world.
Angel's music blends elements of folk, country, and indie rock to create a unique sound that is both hauntingly beautiful and deeply personal. Her emotionally charged performances have earned her critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base.
Whether she is performing stripped-down acoustic ballads or rocking out with her band, Angel's raw talent shines through in every song. Her honest storytelling and powerful vocals make her an artist not to be missed.

After her highly-acclaimed debut Strange Cacti landed in the hands of listeners, it became very obvious the special presence ANGEL OLSEN offered to listeners. She had a fresh edge to her sound, a warm and wonderful range, and a level of skill and charm out of this world. Obviously, fans ate it up. And now here we are, a mere 2 years since her initial Bathetic release—the original cassette version of Strange Cacti. The release of Half Way Home is something everyone has been excited for. We've always wanted to see and hear what Angel brings out through her music. Half Way Home is a continuation of her elegance brought forth on Strange Cacti, a collection of both new and old music, honed and matured, thoughts revisisted. We're hearing this same beautiful girl with that same beautiful voice, this time brought up to a new level, in no doubt a growth and reach brought on by several roadtrips with the one and only Bonnie Prince Billy and crew. The work of Angel Olsen is entirely her own: a raw, glowing sound that stands out now just as much as it did in 2010. It's an emotional stew with Angel's robust voice up front, bold and engaging, coming out of the background, aching to be heard.  With the help of EMMETT KELLY (CAIRO GANG) behind the board and playing throughout the songs, Half Way Home is a natural progression showcasing the wondrous sounds of a songwriter with such a voice that is rarely found. Includes an innersleeve with lyrics and notes.
