Agnes Obel
Swiss exclusivity
The graceful, subtle and deeply introspective music of Danish singer-songwriter Agnes Obel has held listeners spellbound since the release of her remarkable debut, Philharmonics (2010). Classically trained as a pianist and inspired by artists and composers such as Joni Mitchell, Claude Debussy, PJ Harvey and Erik Satie, the Berlin-based musician has, album after album, crafted an intimate and refined chamber pop that sits somewhere between neoclassical and alternative. Her luminous, finely wrought songs and supple, instantly recognisable voice have filled concert halls across Europe and even found their way into film, appearing in films such as I Origins, and acclaimed series such as The Last of Us, True Detective and Big Little Lies. At the Montreux Jazz Festival, Agnes Obel gives us minimalism in its most majestic form.
