A lovely Danish bewitches us. And she has other assets that his pretty face, and that's what matters to us. It proposes indeed very nice songs to sparse instrumentation, a melancholy universe, warm beneath apparent coldness. I have a weakness for authenticity and delicacy when these qualities are associated with artistic talent (and in other circumstances ...). Agnes Obel combines evidence to the requirement, manages to elegance without affectation. I appreciate less strength when his voice (of "Beast" or "On powdered ground"): it loses authenticity and is approaching a little too at all from the variety. And I regret the quality of the sound recording that is not optimal; it is obvious on the introductory instrumental.
