Support on the night will be from the wonderfully talented Irish guitarist Cian Nugent , who [...]
Photograph by Frank Eidel Earlier today I was lucky enough to speak with the wonderful Agnes Obel, who will play St Candice's Cathedral in Kilkenny this coming August as part of the city's annual Arts Festival . Bound to be one of this summer's most captivating concerts, Agnes' live performance is one that I have been excited about for months. Having just had a big sugar and coffee binge, which she told me left her feeling "very fresh", the Danish composer and singer-songwriter [...]
chamber folk // singer-songwriter Danish-born and Berlin-based songstress Agnes Obel possesses a natural sense of tone and melody as well as a truly faultless voice. The beautifully crafted somber folk melodies of her debut album Philharmonics (2010) linger in the air and stir the heart. While Agnes vocal delivery brings to mind the long-time Aurgasm favourite Ane Brun , the album ranges from romantic quirkiness of Joanna Newsom to echoes of Debussy. European readers might recognize the bright melody of "Just So", as the song was used by German telecommunications company [...]

As June ends and July will surely bring on a slew of more remixes, so in-turn we have to pull out the mop to clean up all of the remixes we've come across over the last month worth listening to. This last month several songs hit hard, particularly Uphill Racer's Remix of Phoenix's "Lasso". Phoenix's album 'Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix" came out in 2009, but this remix might be perhaps my favorite remix of the lot. Of course Keane was thrown into the mix for a [...]

In Roskilde today (and supposed to be working)...but somewhere in the house at radio is playing and at this very moment this one is on...
True joy is not just in things that make us happy, or rather, things that mask loneliness, apprehension, or trauma; true joy is an elusive, internal satisfaction, and it can be viral. A little joy leaves a big impression, and this is something Agnes Obel knows well, and is, she argues, an oft overlooked aspect of her recent album, Philharmonics . “I feel very alive and happy when I play,” she explained during a pre-show interview. Friend and Berlin native, Anne Muller, plays cello and guitar, respectively, alongside Obel, [...]

Time to focus on the job. Monday Music's the weekly post where I temporarily abandon SOIWT's London-only focus... Thick Shakes - Go Back To New York Punks don't often encounter organs (not the religious kind, anyway), but Thick Shakes' rabble-rousing, armpit-dampening throwback meshes the two together in delicious delirium. The aforementioned instrument softens the otherwise 70s garage-rock squawkiness, making the record sound slightly faded and fuzzy. Go Back to New York by Thick Shakes [...]
Jeg har et ømt punkt for Agnes Obels fine, søde stemme og smukke klaverspil. Hendes debutalbum Philharmonics er en stille og rolig perle, som du ikke må snyde dig selv for at opleve, hvis du endnu har det til gode! Her er det melankolske nummer Riverside blevet forvandlet til en lidt mørkere dubbet sag af electronica duoen Lulu Rouge. Agnes Obel — Riverside (Lulu Rouge Remix) (Right click to download) Riverside — Lulu Rouge Remix [...]

Famosa di colpo, a 31 anni, dopo una vita passata a suonare il piano ed essere cresciuta in una famiglia di musicisti. Agnes Caroline Thaarup Obel è il nuovo fenomeno della canzone d'autore in salsa pop. Arriva dalla Danimarca e col suo album "Philharmonics" ha già ampiamente sfondato il muro delle 100 mila copie, vincendo un disco di platino in patria ed un altro in Francia. Pianista sopraffina, ma suona anche il violoncello e l'arpa: compone e canta i suoi pezzi ma non disegna suonare classici come Debussy, Ravel, Roy Orbison, John Cale . [...]
Before we begin, I have some news about The Indie Sabbath . As you should know by now, the southern part of the United States has been ravaged over the past few weeks by violent thunderstorms, tornadoes and massive flooding. The scale of the disaster is incredible, and the people living in those areas are suffering in a way most of us can't even fathom. Starting Monday the 16th, I am going to be traveling to Missouri to help with the relief effort. This is going to be a physically draining experience as I will [...]
