Album Notes & Community Reviews
On 'All Mirrors', Angel Olsen pivots from her indie-rock origins to a dramatic and cinematic art-pop sound, collaborating with producer John Congleton for a maximalist arrangement. A 12- to 14-piece string section, arranged by Ben Babbitt and Jherek Bischoff, combines with dark, '80s-inflected synthesizers to create a lush and immense sonic backdrop. This expansive production elevates Olsen's powerful vocal performance and magnifies the album's core themes of heartbreak, self-reflection, and transformation.
