The Aisles EP, which also features covers of 'Eyes Without A Face' (Billy Idol), 'If You Leave' (Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark) and 'Forever Young' (Alphaville), was recorded in the winter of 2020 at Asheville’s Drop of Sun Studios with co-producer and engineer Adam McDaniel. Olsen had known McDaniel for years and became better acquainted while trying to conquer the audio of live-stream at-home performances last spring. McDaniel and his wife Emily opened their home to Olsen throughout the previous summer and made it a safe space to create and let go before beginning tracking. There, the two would get lost on a part for hours, messing with obscure pedals, synthesizers, and sounds.
