    On her fourth album, Danish vocalist Agnes Obel confirms her great talent. Minimalistic music, that pulls you into a different world. Either you hate it or you love it. For me its the latter, and Myopia proves to be a great escape route for everyday life. Floats towards what the great Max Richter delivers, only much more vocal driven, with the piano and strings as supporting acts.

    Agnes Obel. She composes, she sings, and she flies like an angel. Pour yourself a glass of red wine in a dim lit room, flatter yourself on the coach and enjoy this beautiful music from the heart.

    Obel's angelic mixture of bliss and anguish conjures a self-contained mood of wonderment, sorrowful and subdued.

    These songs are obscured like frosted glass, as meticulously pretty and faintly unnerving as a porcelain doll. Though the album ends almost as quietly as it began, Obel’s whispery ambient fog lingers far longer.

    It's in how she alters her ghostly, choral-like voice that she's able to elevate her entire environment.
