| 3.1 good | Erwann S. STAFF | October 28th 20 |
Gentle and introspective americana-tinged indie folk. It's good Olsen has got an emotional voice, as the instrumentation is at times too subdued to my taste. It's mostly beautiful though, but the project is truly elevated when Olsen just lets it go, her voice cracking and straining. Good stuff, but a formula to be refined.

A huge maturation from her EPs adding warming production to her lonely and melancholy vocal delivery which rules and drives the entire album. The only respite from is the uptempo second track 'The Waiting'. Angel is extremely introspective and personal here with her powerful, warm voice arranged above fairly simple folk-country-Americana guitar arrangements. The stripped down instrumentation really allows Olsen to create an extremely lonely, sometimes haunting atmosphere despite her vocals being utterly beautiful on Half Way Home. This album heavily rewards repeat listens and it feels like almost every song is essential but it might test those who aren't ready for 43 minutes of lonely, stripped down vocal heavy approach. Looking back from the most recent releases it is amazing how well her discography develops.

Angel Olsen has improved a lot since her previous album, her vocals are great and I am always amazed when she can hit those twangs...if you could call them that. I love this album and am forward to any of her future releases.
