Album artwork for Half Way Home by Angel Olsen

ush, beautiful dark folk from Angel Olsen on Jagjaguwar. Imagine a modernist Patsy Cline covering prime-cut Bonnie Prince Billy. While country music phrasing and chord structures are present and correct, there's an emotional directness in every song that is devoid of schamltz and artifice. 'Half way home' is a wonderfully deep album, a well-spring of emotional maelstrom that moves through out the heart's landscape like a swallow, dipping into immense sadness only to swerve up to giddy love-songsmithery.
