Myopia is the latest :, : example of that, with her taking a short-sighted approach to : :' creating her music, she notes, "For me the production is ': ,: intertwined with the lyrics and story behind the songs ... :, : Paradoxically, for me I need to create my own myopia to make : :' music." Going inward in this way, she is able to open gateways ': ,: into her own personal experiences. :, : : :' Trust and doubt are at the heart of Myopia. As Obel explains, ': ,: "Can you trust your own judgments? Can you trust that you will :, : do the right thing? Can you trust your instincts and what you : :' are feeling? Or are your feelings skewed?" The opening ': ,: untreated notes of 'Camera's Rolling' establish one reality, yet :, : quickly these notes are treated, suggesting that what is real : :' depends on where you look. ': ,: :, : Opening with treated vocals, the world of 'Broken Sleep' deals : :' with restlessness in a world where dreams are broken this yet ': ,: the personal is never far from the surface as she sings, "Take :, : my word for it, ooh, in the dark, in the dark, in the dark, : :' words can follow." There's both a beauty and fragility to the ': ,: piece. Surprisingly, the entire piece is in a major key, which :, : seems like an odd choice yet it works perfectly creating : :' something both slightly agitated and serene. ': ,: :, : Obel continually takes an experimental approach to the recording : :' process, warping, and pitching down both vocals, along with the ': ,: strings, piano and celesta to create something both foreign and :, : familiar on æIsland of Doom'. The language she uses makes it : :' perfectly clear that death wins in the end, "Nature laughed ': ,: away as?their voices grew. They told me, they told me, 'Clean :, : out the room and bury the body.'" But is death actually the end? : :' Obel suggests perhaps not, "On your island of doom, where the ': ,: voices all have gathered up to a choir of fools. But I know my :, : mind will reach you there, and I will be with you." : :' ': ,: From her Berlin studio, the Danish Obel finds ways to create :, : songs that both challenge and engage. Airy and ethereal, the : :' music both challenges and intoxicates in equal measure. Part of ': ,: what draws the listener in is the unsettling beauty of what she :, : has conjured. Amidst the confusion there is also lucidity. From : :' that perspective, Agnes Obel doesn't suffer from Myopia, she ': ,: revels in it, creating songs that offer clarity amidst the :, : chaos. : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 2 0 \/
