2nd studio album by Agnes Obel. The debut Philharmonics (2010) was a really fine and original work, and this is too. She continues in her own distinct alt. folk chamber pop singer/songwriter style. She has turned even more down on the indie folk element and made an ambient sound that really suits her voice. The album comes out as a more distinct and authentic album.
