![]() ![]() ![]() There are the plangent voices, The Bulgarian Folklore Choir, Nina Simone, Ray Davies and Obel herself, ringing true. This is aided by a veritable cornucopia of new Obel material, including a haunting reading of Danish song “Glemmer Du”, the aforementioned ‘”Poem About Death”, and an Agnes original, “Bee Dance”.Īmong them, there’s the enigmatic Jamaican singer Nora Dean who weighs in with the hypnotic and slinky Duke Reid production, “Ay Ay Ay Ay (Angie-Lala)” and the sparse, sardonic “Party Girl” by Michelle Gurevich, so good it inspired the eponymous French movie. There’s a quietude about it all, the antithesis of a rush hour, like a frozen lake on a Sunday morning. “I love it when the voice becomes an instrument and you almost forget it’s a human voice.” Never is this more apt than on this beautifully programmed and bewitching selection of music.įor her Late Night Tales mix, it feels almost as if Obel has scoured the world looking for kindred spirits – or kindred songs. “To me, sounds have always been more interesting than words,” says Agnes. The first single, Inger Christensen’s “Poem About Death,” is set to original music by Abel and is exclusive to this mix. Previous contributors to the LNT series have included BadBadNotGood, Nils Frahm, Jon Hopkins, The Flaming Lips, Four Tet, MGMT, Röyksopp, Bonobo, and more. ![]() Late Night Tales recently announced their latest instalment to their long-running artist-curated mix series, this time helmed by Danish artist Agnes Obel, out May 25th.
