Agnes Obel announces new LP, touring w/ Dead Can Dance; listen to new single

Danish musician and songwriter Agnes Obel has announced her fourth LP, Myopia, due out February 21 via Blue Note. She’s shared the haunting, delicate first single “Island of Doom,” and about it, she says, “the song is made up of pitched-down piano and cello pizzicato and vocals, all choirs are pitched down and up… In my experience when someone close to you dies it is simply impossible to comprehend that you can’t ever talk to them or reach them somehow ever again. They are in many ways still alive because in your consciousness nothing has changed, they’re still there with everyone else you know.”

Agnes is touring in 2020, starting with a run of European dates, and then, as mentioned, joining Dead Can Dance as support on their tour of North America and Mexico. See all of her upcoming dates below.
