: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Agnes Obel doesn't take the easy roads. Myopia is the latest :,
: example of that, with her taking a short-sighted approach to :
:' creating her music, she notes, "For me the production is ':
,: intertwined with the lyrics and story behind the songs ... :,
: Paradoxically, for me I need to create my own myopia to make :
:' music." Going inward in this way, she is able to open gateways ':
,: into her own personal experiences. :,
: :
:' Trust and doubt are at the heart of Myopia. As Obel explains, ':
,: "Can you trust your own judgments? Can you trust that you will :,
: do the right thing? Can you trust your instincts and what you :
:' are feeling? Or are your feelings skewed?" The opening ':
,: untreated notes of 'Camera's Rolling' establish one reality, yet :,
: quickly these notes are treated, suggesting that what is real :
:' depends on where you look. ':
,: :,
: Opening with treated vocals, the world of 'Broken Sleep' deals :
:' with restlessness in a world where dreams are broken this yet ':
,: the personal is never far from the surface as she sings, "Take :,
: my word for it, ooh, in the dark, in the dark, in the dark, :
:' words can follow." There's both a beauty and fragility to the ':
,: piece. Surprisingly, the entire piece is in a major key, which :,
: seems like an odd choice yet it works perfectly creating :
:' something both slightly agitated and serene. ':
,: :,
: Obel continually takes an experimental approach to the recording :
:' process, warping, and pitching down both vocals, along with the ':
,: strings, piano and celesta to create something both foreign and :,
: familiar on 'Island of Doom'. The language she uses makes it :
:' perfectly clear that death wins in the end, "Nature laughed ':
,: away as their voices grew. They told me, they told me, 'Clean :,
: out the room and bury the body.'" But is death actually the end? :
:' Obel suggests perhaps not, "On your island of doom, where the ':
,: voices all have gathered up to a choir of fools. But I know my :,
: mind will reach you there, and I will be with you." :
:' ':
,: From her Berlin studio, the Danish Obel finds ways to create :,
: songs that both challenge and engage. Airy and ethereal, the :
:' music both challenges and intoxicates in equal measure. Part of ':
,: what draws the listener in is the unsettling beauty of what she :,
: has conjured. Amidst the confusion there is also lucidity. From :
:' that perspective, Agnes Obel doesn't suffer from Myopia, she ':
,: revels in it, creating songs that offer clarity amidst the :,
: chaos. :
