The Fashionably Late Top 125 of 2019: Angel Olsen

Another rough year corresponded to another bumper crop of excellent music. Once again, my list is huge, because I fell in love with each of these 125 records and found it impossible to not include all of them in my fashionably late list.

I'm choosing to post my favorites in alpha order from A-Z again this year. You'll probably find some records that everyone and their fifth cousin raved about, but I hope you'll also find a few records that might be new to you, and that you'll fall in love with them as much as I have.

My thanks, as always, to the artists who created these records.

Who: Angel Olsen

What: All Mirrors

When: October 2019

Where: Jagjaguwar

Why: Stunning from start to finish, All Mirrors is a beautiful, powerful record steeped in heartache. Honeyed and hypnotic, Olsen casts an album's worth of spells, creating something as majestic and mysterious as the North Carolina mountains.
