Sure, the neighborhood she lives in is a Zillow voyeur’s smuttiest fantasy: Bucolic? Check. Historic? Check. High median household income? Check, check, check. But it’s not the exact one she wanted to buy herself when she moved to Asheville, North Carolina, seven years ago.
She’s only got a few peaceful moments left to enjoy before All Mirrors comes out the first week of October and she’s back out on the road. She’s trying to modulate her energy a bit after the necessary annoyances of the day: back-to-back phone interviews and box loads of portraits of herself that needed to be signed and sent out for album promo. Earlier she went to acupuncture. That didn’t work. Then for a run, which also didn’t work.
She chooses two glasses, measures out the last of the apricot brandy precisely, and grabs a green ceramic bowl to use as an ashtray on her way to the porch. While the rest of the East Coast is trending toward fall, Asheville remains, resolutely, in sitting-on-the-porch season. Olsen, in all black, sits on a stool to keep the cigarette smoke from blowing directly into my face.

And I’ve always had bangs because of it,” she says, pushing up her hair to show her hairline. They’ve gone from the long, honey-blond, shy-girl-with-guitar bangs she had in 2011 emerging from Chicago’s DIY scene to the darker, shorter bangs she adopted as she became an avatar for intimate female sadness.
Later that night we’re at the Mexican restaurant she calls her “comfort spot.” The menu has about ten different margarita options, but Olsen’s drinking Manhattans. A few people stop to congratulate her on the recent video for “Lark,” a single from the new album.
But the process has required her to enlist help. She’s been collaborating more, playing with a bigger band, and co-orchestrating to create different, lusher versions of songs she originally wrote as spare, bare-bones solo performances. “I am so fucking stubborn, and it sucks,” she says. But she’s learning. Sometimes she even lets someone else have the final say.
