Product Description
The descent into darkness is a trope we find time again across history, literature and film. But there's also an abyss above. There's a winding white staircase that goes ever upward into the great unknown - each step, each turn, requiring a greater boldness and confidence than the one before. This is the journey on which we find Angel Olsen. Olsen's artistic beginnings as a collaborator shifted seamlessly to her magnificent, cryptic-to-cosmic solo work, and then she formed bands to play her songs, and her stages and audiences grew exponentially. But all along, Olsen was more concerned with a different kind of path, and on her vulnerable, Big Mood new album, All Mirrors, we can see her taking an introspective deep dive towards internal destinations and revelations. In the process of making this album, she found a new sound and voice, a blast of fury mixed with hard won self-acceptance. "In every way -from the making of it, to the words, to how I feel moving forward- this record is about owning up to your darkest side," Olsen said. "Finding the capacity for new love and trusting change, even when you feel like a stranger. This is a record about facing yourself and learning to forgive what you see. It is about losing empathy, trust, love for destructive people. It is about walking away from the noise and realizing that you can have solitude and peace in your own thoughts, that your thoughts alone can be just as valid, if not more."

Best Album Yetby Sir Pens-a-Lot (5 out of 5 stars)
October 9, 2019
Angel Olsen has been kind of a weird one for me. For her two previous albums it's been a roughly 50/50 split between some of the most amazing music I've ever heard and songs I just find plain boring. Not bad, just not enough to hold my attention. With this most recent release that has all changed. This is the best she has ever been and I immediately fell in love with the album after my first playthrough and have had various songs stuck in my head this last week or so. I absolutely adore the addition of synths with a more 70s/80s sound to accompany along with the GORGEOUS addition of strings. If you are an Angel Olsen fan at all buy this album ASAP.
The trouble she's known

Hers is a voice that rings out past that place in the desert where Genet asked that all the images be taken for safekeeping.
There are synths and moments that pop enthusiasts would claim, but in the end there is her singular voice.
Masterpiece

I've been a casual fan of hers for a few years. I would mostly stream, but never bought physical product. Once I heard All Mirrors I bought both the cd and lp. It is an absolute masterpiece. It's a perfect breakup album in that it also embraces the SELF. It reminds us that we always have ourselves, for better or worse. I can't quite put it into words but this album makes me see both sides of my relationship that has recently ended. All Mirrors has let me see things from a different point of view. It's truly a special album and definitely the best of the year.

Somewhat dark, and Kate Bushish, but it works well and fits together nicely. Beautiful voice and orchestrations... Haunting and flawless. Leaves me wanting more.
