Agnes Obel: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

- Bob Boilen | February 15, 2017 - Agnes Obel, a Danish singer and writer of deeply alluring music, brought her work into what you could call its opposite - an office in the daylight. While the setting is a bit contrary to her carefully plotted, vocally dense songs, she mapped out a strategy which included her own reverb and monitor mix in the (successful, I think) hope of giving the Tiny Desk an aesthetic more suitable to these focused and powerful songs.
And so, today we have Agnes Obel performing three songs from the enchanting Citizen of Glass alongside her band - keeping it sonically spare with just the right touch of keyboard and cello.
Citizens of Glass is available now:
iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/album/cit...
Amazon: www.amazon.com/Citizen-Glass-...
SET LIST
"It's Happening Again"
"Golden Green"
"Stone"
MUSICIANS
Agnes Obel (vocals, keys); Charlotte Danhier (keys, backup vocals); Kristina Koropecki (cello, backup vocals); Marianne Lewandowski (backup vocals, percussion)

Agnes obel music makes me feel like I'm in the back of an ambulance seeing the last moments of my life in iridescent flashes, and by that I mean I love her music.
wohhh this is so spot on
I love your comment ❤️
I agree I would be quite happy to die to this she's amazingly talented and beautiful x
Poetic
Incredible
Agnes Obel's music is so beautiful it actually hurts
Ha, a minute before I came here to this video I wrote exactly that about my favorite song of her's ("Familiar").
I LOVE Agnes, but all these women are very talented.
Saw her play in a small church in my small canadian uni town...it was mindblowing and so is this small show
That must of been quite the experience. Very envious right now...:)
@@Baphometrose yeah im wig snatching too
Lucky
Why does Agnes look like a Roman sculpture?? Her face is so defined and flawless....
Eve McEntire ethnic Danes tend to have very defined facial features, tall cheek bones, sharp jaw line etc.
For breaking through ice
can she be?
Made of stone, of stone
hes a reborn goddess of music
@@joerensh8463 thanks
While I like many different kinds of music (from classical to rock to ambient and more), Agnes Obel's music is transformative and hypnotic. It's also refreshing that she is humble in her performances, letting the music speak without a lot of flash. Thank you, Agnes, for bringing beauty to the world.
OMG THIS WOMAN IS SUCH A GREAT ARTIST HOLY SHIT
Watch Dorian on the Berlin Live Sessions.
riiiiiiiiight!!!?
Of course Agnes Obel did a tiny desk performance.
Some of the coolest songwriter/musicians on Earth have scratched their names into that desk.
With no reverb on voice channel it’s easier to realize what an amazing singer she is. My favorite artist ever.
Agnes Obel and her crew create entire worlds of wonder and beauty that drives me to tears. Love your work, Agnes!
Woah! Agnes Obel at NPR! YES!
Merveilleux groupe féminin, voix aériennes , douceur et élégance enchantent
her voice is breathtakingly beautiful
They all have wonderful voices. 11:14 is magical.
Always such nice comments on NPR's channel
music is trancendent, a universal lubricant and lets be real this is the BEST live music chanel on youtube #NPR #WEHeARTYOU ;-]
I'd love to see Portishead playing on tiny desk.
got chills just picturing that nyc show with the live orchestra.
So underrated, she deserves more, is beautiful.
happy to finally see Phoebe made it in the music industry as a backing vocalist
I wish they'd allow her to show some of her classic moves on guitar though. She's created some amazing chords ;D
Smelly cat, smelly cat..
Rangga Suryagading i thought you meant the leading singer, but then I saw the other girl cx #SmellyCat
Don't forget about Zooey Deschanel...
Were you the guy that always walked by in the background at Central Perk? 'Cause that's what this feels like.
i dunno why i am appreciating Agnes and the band so much - it touches me where no-one's looking at.
Her music is just magic . Brings me to a place of joy and peace.
I have been waiting for so long... It's like a dream becoming true !! ==> Agnes Obel on NPR !!!!!
Ditto, I was hoping for the day they'd finally bring Agnes in
I've discovered so many amazing musicians from this channel. Thank you so much, NPR Music for helping to shape my musical tastes.
lets be real this is the BEST live music chanel on youtube #NPR #WEHeARTYOU ;-]
I didn't realize I live along side actual Angels. They sound so beautiful together. This sound gives me hope in humanity. 💟
Never clicked on a notification faster.
Perfection. No matter the venue. So perfect.
a dropped a like based purely on sonic innovation. the whistling twirling sound from the cello player at the end of the first song. the perfect mimicry of the sound of rattling bones. The raw vocal talent here in addition to that imaginative sound creation really impressed me
yeah i put down a like --> that cello
Oh my goodness! Goosebumps all over! This is too beautiful.
Esse quarteto de vozes é a coisa mais linda que já ouvi , a sonoridade que elas fazem é singular e única. Agnes obel e banda , sincronidade pura.
i love the deep melodies. this is powerful. I had this on autoplay and had to start it over. I was not prepared haha. stellar
Stunningly beautiful. Thank you!
The communication between them all on Stone is amazing.
Just signed up for tickets to see Agnes next September in Cambridge UK. Long time to wait but I've been waiting so much longer for a chance to share a space and an evening with this ethereally beautiful woman, So a year will pass quickly, time will stand still and I will be left with a lifetime of memories. Well worth it!
Where is she from? Incredible talent in her and her musicians!
Honestly glad to see Agnes getting such love in the comments , really thought I was the only one inlove with her music
Citizens of Glass is probably my favorite musical discovery of the past 6 months. Fun to see them do it live. Great stuff.
What an amazing band! Their three-voice harmony gave me goose bumps
Yes!!! I've been waiting for this. I love Agnes so much.
I had the great pleasure to see Agnes Obel last night at the start of her new Tour in Dortmund, Germany.
Had a great night
I love love love them!! It's happening again has been on loop for about a month in my head. So hauntingly beautiful. Thanks NPR
Citizen of Glass is my new favorite rainy day music
wow, speechless.. I'm blown by how well they work together in order to create such wonderful sounds.
Thank you for having Agnes come and play, NPR! She's one of my favorite artists. I've got all her albums, and just adore her music.
Her music can fill up the whole room. Love her. One of the more underrated artists I've seen a while.
Such beautiful songs full of everything you can feel,, the four of You are wonderful ;) . Love from Argentina 🇦🇷💓
such inventive and creative music, it warmed my heart and lightened me up.
Wow, what an amazing atmospheric and mesmerising performance, really enjoyed listening too and watching this performance . Musicianship at it finest ✊🏽
Stunning, romantic & exquisitely beautiful! Thank You!!

Yes! i'm glad She got a chance to do Tiny Desk Concert!
this is once again...unbelievable! Great as everything that Agnes has created.
Loving it. Happy to be alive to enjoy it!
How unique! I love the presentation, I look forward to hearing her studio works.
Executed with precision, these ladies are of different calibre ❤
I love seeing these beautiful, talented musicians perform. Also, I'm captivated by Kristina Koropecki's face.
I KNEW SHE WAS HERE! Tiny desk never disappoints !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a bit late to the Agnes party but, OMG! Watch her iTunes live set. 45 minutes of bliss...
Thank you! I am as well! Recommend by other Witches!
I think I maybe able to watch on someone else’s iTunes? Where is she from? All so talented, flawless!
@@stephanieb6578 This video, even though an NPR production, is the one that's on iTunes. She may have more on iTunes but there's a lot here on CZcams. She's Scandinavian, Norway maybe? I think she lives in Germany...if not, she's there a lot. It's been a while since I wrote that comment and had read all about her. She's apparently very popular in Europe. All I can say is, her music and her voice/singing style is unique to me and simply EPIC!
It is getting better, and I like it. Listening to more of her and others music together as people like her and I mean this among all but the one way I noticed that good musicians from there ways is agreed upon that they all have an understanding from listening to what they wrote or rearranged and composed with variations on themes is where I see the difference is you don't rank these minds that create different sounds while using different people as opposed to having the same people travel with you everywhere you go and it sounds like a negative but it is not, from what I read. Everything has good and bad while these ladies and all musicians have tremendous heart and soul with a blend of memory that is not my loss but definitely again when you love the voice. I learned to appreciate that feeling more many years in opera vignettes in an octagonal stone round domed, pillared place for the performing arts. It was on The Ridges in Athens, Ohio and created and supported the music department of Ohio University. It had to be among my top five actual professional people in ballet and opera and I have yet to see and hear ballet that is considered internationally a company that enters the ways to better the patrons of these forms of performing arts. I sense the prideful nature that is a given and you can tell but not for me as I have seen the mixed continents and any countries dancers who focus on this and it is like a name in from the Russian Gallet Ballet while this is and has been first in mind but not ranking it. I don't feel that is at all what I wish to convey nor do you. I'm writing for the sake of the widow's son and that means for humanity no different than feminism evidenced by two favorite entertainer activists have he same answer at end of their show yet they do have a conviction for something better yet it circulates the blood more. I agree and not specifics but to the feeling that it gives me because it is based on history and being one who listens to many as I kind musicians, it is always a bad hair day as described by all as the chemistry between good players who know it and can repeat and readers of music that do it on the spot while throwing their own unless it is not that way. Improvisation, hoping I can read this in years to come. Why not, it is a good cheers different than here is to "world peace", and certainly. It is a great way to see better day and way in handling foreign relations which was of interest to me last time I was in an enrolled academic course. It is a great experience. except online which for me, it is just as good a reason to get it here and compliment those who brought and I do by writing and letting it be known or just reminding so I can write better which should corollate well with thinking better. I don't know but what I feel.
Damn. they're so good. I'd love to watch/hear the interplay between this group and Andrew Bird. ;_;
...so beautiful
4.49 A beautiful smile from Agnes. Waited a long time for that and it was well worth it.
i'm so in love with her music 😭😭❤️
I can't be the only one who noticed Agnes has a vampiric lover right? Maybe that's what makes her so amazing. ;)
Lol I just noticed 😂
Parental Guardian she looks like she was bit by a vampire haha.
I liked the first song the best because the piano was so good. Thanks girls
Fascinating. Lovely library backdrop. Humble, yet captivating
I love the mood of this. They have the "creepy" mood and that it's what I love.
"Stone" gives me deep chills each and every time.
I was expecting her to play Riverside (that song's perfect). Great concert so far tho
I love the play with harmonies & rhythms, it’s a bit like an incantation
Wow. This first tune is so ethereal. I am absolutely in love!
Ladies with beards. Gross
The Mighty Gamer T_dawg Haha. You know you love it ^_^

Oh Agnes, you're so lovely

Amazing music !
Magnifique!!!!! Merci beaucoup NPR.
Exceptionnelles ces bibliothécaires 😯
Ça m aurait donné envi de lire si j avais connu ça...
Enya + Bjork's musical love child. Absolutely lovely albums, I often listen to any of them at night before bed, pure magic as I approach sleep.
Lying in my boat looking at the sky, the water rocks me and my mind fades. These girls are mermaids bewitching sailors with their songs.
Breathtaking...
Bravo for having her on NPR 👏🏾
Yasss!! Love me some Agnes Obel. 💯🙌🏽💖🎵🌹
indescribably beautiful
She is fabulous..👏👏
❤ great performance!!!
Reminds me of Imogen Heap a little bit. I like this, it's mixed well. Elements of Mother Falcon's imagination and tone. I could see this being on a movie soundtrack.
