Bill Whitten of Grand Mal You know the drill by now. Here's a ton of music that most other sites would put up one-post-at-a-time, but you get it in one simple post. So many artists featured I would take more time to read them than scroll through them. Videos are below the track postings. The Dodos - "Don't Stop" Man/Miracle - "Don't Waste It" Agnes Obel - "Brother Sparrow" Ghost Animal - "Young And [...]

Also see bylarm day 1 or bylarm day 2 Three full days of rushing between venues located in different parts of town is mildly put tiring in its length, but also a lot of fun when you get to see so many great up-and-coming bands all at once, as well as meeting a great deal of friends playing in these particular bands. The programme for Saturday also provided with a great deal of exciting acts such as Kim Hiorthøy, Susanna & The Magical Orchestra and Treefight for Sunlight [...]

International Sensation Agnes Obel Announces U.S. Release of Philharmonics (April 12, PIAS America) Listen to “ Brother Sparrow ” HERE Agnes Obel Announces SXSW Show “...her harp figures and affinity for animals bring to mind Joanna Newsom, though the pervasive sense of half-lit stillness in her music and delivery more strongly recalls Ane Bruno or Jose Gonzalez.” - The Independent “An exceptionally sparse debut, but utterly disarming too.” - BBC Music On April 12, internationally acclaimed songwriter/composer Agnes Obel will release her debut album, Philharmonics in the U.S. [...]
Photo taken by the amazing garmonique - Flickr I'll be honest with you, this collection of songs was compiled with nothing but mixed emotions and by that I mean, I wasn't able to put my finger on any real understanding of what Winter should feel like. Happy or sad? The undertones of what is otherwise pleasing to look at in nature often strikes differently in the depths of the mind where everything tends to get lost. Although I guess that's just it for me, using music as an instrument to bridge [...]
I have been meaning to post about Agnes Obel for quite some time, but I just couldn't find the right time until now. Her beautiful somber melodies are just what I wanted to hear tonight. Philharmonics is only available in Europe or through iTunes , I highly recommend it. Voices in the street, footsteps on the concrete Guess I hear just every sound on the ground From my window view, I know a color blue that can bite so very hard, the day apart Picture [...]

2010 has been a great year for me although at times so busy It’s been bewildering… I’ve become a dad, changed careers and have finally got a band together so that my DIY home recordings over the last few years can now finally go on the road... In terms of my listenership, I’ve tried and failed once again to get into dubstep and anti-folk and also (with only a couple of exceptions) haven’t really been into ALBUMS, so these are the individual tracks that have kept me sane during this pleasantly tumultuous year… I’d like to [...]
So, so beautiful... Every morning when the girls and I are having breakfast the radio is on , and from time to time it does happen that some really fine stuff is aired, thus helping to make the start of the day a good one. The “On the radio this morning” posts are my humble attempt to make your start a good one as well!
~ Pretty Lights - "Still Night" ~ Smooth chill/trip-hop (or 'electro hip hop soul', whatever frankly) track that should be used on some flashy runway. Not that I know anything about fashion, but I bet it would be cool. From the album Glowing In The Darkest Night which - except for this song - didn't leave much of an impression on me. ~ He's My Brother, She's My Sister - "How'm I Gonna Get Back Home" ~ Infectious folk-country that I can't help but bop along [...]
eine ep ("riverside") und eine lp ("philharmonics") hat sie bisher in ihre discographie tippen können. und derzeit befindet sie sich auf tour. während ich das schreibe, weilt agnes obel in paris und ich kann meinen bloggerfreund oliver vom konzerttagebuch nicht darauf aufmerksam machen. aber vielleicht hat er auch allein in die fleche d'or gefunden. er ist ein findiges kerlchen. wie agnes eine findige lady ist. findig im sinne von inspirierender musik, die sie dank ihres pianos und einer herrlich angestumpften stimme zelebriert. dem piano wird etwas hall gegönnt, so dass es weite impliziert und etwas mehr kraft hat [...]
Agnes Obel ’s debut Philharmonics opens with the same kind of subtly delicacy found on Tori Amos’ Under the Pink , and that’s not where the similarities end: the album is littered with references to rural tranquillity and, in stark contrast, urban cruelty. In the wrong hands a fusion of the two could spell for an uncomfortable listen, but in this instance it makes for a set of beautifully reflective and engaging songs. Amos is not the only comparison that can be drawn here: the album pays homage to a variety of artists, including Roy [...]
Sometimes you need coaxing. A second or third listen. A little research -- "just who is this, anyway?" Not this time. We'll let you do the linking if you'd like. Just know this: Agnes Obel is a Danish singer/songwriter with something interesting to say in an interesting way. Period. This is the video for the title track of her recently released EP Riverside . More details as she readies her debut full-length Philharmonics this fall. For now: engage. Myspace Artist Site
