Video: Agnes Obel - The Curse

Beautiful and haunting is this stunning new single from Danish singer/songwriter Agnes Obel. Watching The Curse video the world stopped for the duration of it. If you're fans like us of Rhye, Kate Bush and Björk you're gonna sop it up for sure! We're mesmerized by her voice - the sadness and strength it displays is beyond. The minimalistic production of the music with the truly gorgeous piano and string section is sublime and we're gonna have to create some new verbs to explain what we think, haha. The video is created by photographer Alex Brüel Flagstad, Agnes's live-in lover and that we think explains the rawness and frankness of the clips. Hair messed up from the wind and an endless road... The classic line a blessing in disguise has really struck a chord with us. If things happen for a reason it's no coincidence we got to experience this song this week. Truly moving! The Obel sophomore album Aventine is out on September 30th.
