Beginning in the early 2010s as the home-recorded project of Indiana-based singer/songwriter Amy Oelsner, Amy O has expanded into a full-fledged indie rock band that delivers thoughtful observations of the everyday with a sweet-natured punk-inflected style. After working alone on many albums, by the time of 2016's Arrow, Oelsner was regularly working with outside collaborators. With 2024's introspective Mirror, Reflect, Oelsner distanced herself from the tighter studio arrangements of her two previous albums and returned to her D.I.Y. bedroom pop roots.
