The Profile

American singer-songwriter from St. Louis, Missouri, known for indie folk and indie rock albums and a distinctive voice.

Released the Strange Cacti EP (2011). Worked as a backup singer for Will Oldham (Bonny "Prince" Billy). My Woman (2016) released on Jagjaguwar. Style has ranged from lo-fi indie folk to more expansive auteur rock.

DeBaser reviews present a split view: "My Woman" is praised for its shift toward auteur rock and strong songwriting, while "Burn Your Fire for No Witness" receives criticism for lacking vocal body. Comparisons in the reviews include PJ Harvey, Fleetwood Mac and Cat Power. The coverage highlights Olsen's move from lo-fi indie folk to more expansive rock arrangements.
