Q MagazineOct 16, 2013Aventine does not reveal its atmospheric charms instantly and the brief instrumental Tokka is a reminder she can veer too close to chamber music, but repeated listens unfurls all sorts of wonder. [Nov 2013, p.113]
-
MojoOct 16, 2013In surpassing her debut, Agnes Obel has confirmed hat she is in it for the long haul. [Nov 2013, p.86]
-
Oct 28, 2013Ultimately, Aventine is a triumph of carefully sustained mood; of a sadness that is not so much overbearing as it beautiful, and one that lingers in the silences between listens of this unusual, unusually compelling record.
-
UncutSep 27, 2013Aventine remains pleasingly measured and minimal. [Oct 2013, p.72]

Jan 23, 2014Lyrics, when employed, are simple and to the point, thoughtful but sparse enough to let the classical musicianship shine.
-
Sep 30, 2013A little string-plucking, some groaning cello and the odd beat adorn Obel's tightly focused set of songs, which approximate the sound of snow falling on a disused chapel while a solitary candle burns inside.
-
Dec 3, 2013It has a good sound to it, but as a whole, the misty quality in many of the songs doesn’t have much of a lasting impact.
