About
Since the release of her debut album 'Philharmonics' is 2010, Agnes Obel has been one of the most independent and original artists in contemporary music. 'Myopia' is her fourth studio release. Following the same principles as with her previous albums, which she completed as a one-woman project in her own Berlin home studio, Obel has been under self-imposed creative isolation with the removal of all outside influences and distraction in the writing, recording and mixing process.

Like Theo Bleckmann, Obel uses ambient sound as a backdrop for beseeching, internally focused vocals. Set up this way, her voice becomes a vehicle of unadulterated emotion. There’s a loveliness to this structure that belies the dystopian worldview Obel is describing—offering something restorative amid all the sadness.
