Half Way Home

Angel Olsen's first full length album released Sept 4 2012 on Bathetic Records.

The Missouri-born Chicago psych folk musician and Will Oldham collaborator's magnificent second album is powered by her extraordinary voice, elegant strokes of wordplay, and a thoughtful, never morbid belief in the finality of death.

With Half Way Home, her first proper solo album following some lesser EP and cassette material, Chicago songwriter Angel Olsen constructs a landscape so starkly beautiful it's surprising she can hide any of the emotional intricacies of her songs in a sound so wide open.
