Cheers for Agnes thread!

I discovered her back in December when I heard Riverside.. This is very soothing music. Truly wonderful, gentle, sad and beautiful at the same time. I adore the way the piano sounds. Close Watch (John Cale cover) is hauntingly beautiful! Katie Cruel is also another top favorites of mines. The live versions on the Deluxe Edition are bloody brilliant. Last I heard, she was working on her sophomore album

Yes Taboo Agnes is lovely to listen to and her songs kind of all blend together in a dreamy way.

Last I heard, she was working on her sophomore album

Which, as you know, came out last year. It's fantastic and it's called "Aventine".

Track list:

1. "Chord Left"
2. "Fuel to Fire"
3. "Dorian"
4. "Aventine"
5. "Run Cried the Crawling"
6. "Tokka"
7. "The Curse"
8. "Pass Them By"
9. "Words Are Dead"
10. "Fivefold"
11. "Smoke & Mirrors"



She's already working on her third album.

I'm sure you guys know that she is Danish (But living in Germany since 2006). We don't have a huge amount of artists who break through internationally, so I'm really happy to see Agnes get some international recognition.

@Soot and Stars: I think you'll enjoy this lady.

I have dabbled very briefly with her but i think you are right. I need to invest some more time with her. She seems right up my alley and I've heard nothing but positive things about her!

 

[Soot and Stars]

O.K., upon listening I like all three tracks but it may be a little more droney low key than I'd prefer if I'm honest.

Fair enough. I always appreciate your honesty. That being said, some music clicks at certain times, so do give it another shot when you're in the zone for this kind of music.

It may just be a matter of settling into an actual album!
