Desire Avenue

These last few days i've been enjoying the debut album by Agnes Obel, a Danish artist living and recording in Germany.

The album, Philharmonics, primarily features self-composed songs and instrumentals, with Agnes's piano/keyboard playing the focal point, adorned occasionally with light percussion and cello.

Here's just one of the many lovely tracks on this quiet, reflective album:

Riverside

Saw this on somebody's facebook today and listened to it again. quite nice; and quite popular apparently.

To be honest I find it rather bland and uninteresting, too muted for it's own good...

New album, entitled Aventine, is set for release at the end of September.

Here's a short album teaser.
