Angel Olsen【 59 songs in total 】

Angel Olsen (born January 22, 1987) is an American singer-songwriter and musician from St. Louis, Missouri who currently lives in Asheville, North Carolina. She has recorded and toured as a backing singer with Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and the Cairo Gang, before embarking on her own career.

Career

At age three, Olsen was adopted by a foster family that had cared for her since shortly after her birth. The difference in years between her and her parents left an impression. 'Because there are so many decades of difference between us, I became more interested in what their childhood was like,' she says of her parents, both of whom still live in St. Louis. 'I fantasized about what it was like to be young in the ’30s and ’50s, more so than other kids my age.' Olsen explained that 'my mother just has this capacity for children.' Despite early adolescent aspirations to be a 'pop star', her interests later shifted in high school. Olsen became more introverted, regularly attending punk rock and noise music shows at the Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center as well as Christian rock shows throughout the city. She began learning the piano and guitar and writing her own music. Two years after graduating from Tower Grove Christian High School, Olsen moved to Chicago.

After releasing her first EP, Strange Cacti, and a debut album, Half Way Home, on Bathetic Records, Olsen signed with Jagjaguwar, ahead of her first full-band record, Burn Your Fire for No Witness, which was released on 17 February 2014. Olsen's third full-length album, My Woman, was released on September 2, 2016.

In addition to her work with Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and The Cairo Gang, Olsen has collaborated with a number of other notable figures of American indie rock, including Tim Kinsella of Cap'n Jazz, LeRoy Bach of Wilco and Cass Mccombs. Her collaboration with Kinsella and Bach, as well as with Chicago poet Marvin Tate, resulted in the album 'Tim Kinsella sings the songs of Marvin Tate by LeRoy Bach featuring Angel Olsen,' which the group released on Indianapolis label Joyful Noise Recordings on December 3, 2013.

Her song 'Windows' was featured in the final episode of the Netflix original series 13 Reasons Why.
