Agnes Obel - Between The Bars (Elliott Smith Cover) - iTunes live from Paris

In the old magic hat
Spells and dreams they sat
Whispers in the night
Stars that glow so bright

[Verse 2]
In the attic thoughts do roam
Old memories call them home
Dusty books and tales untold
Where secrets do unfold

[Chorus]
Oh the hat it holds a key
To the magic you can't see
Attic thoughts now take my hand
To a far and distant land

[Verse 3]
Ancient runes and crystal balls
Echoes in those hallowed halls
Wizards' chants fill the air
Mystic lights everywhere

[Chorus]
Oh the hat it holds a key
To the magic you can't see
Attic thoughts now take my hand
To a far and distant land

[Bridge]
Waves of fortune in the hat
Thoughts that climb the attic flat
Moonlight whispers through the dawn
Magic never truly gone

Magician's Hat Et Attic Thoughts_Deejay Dapi  mystical celtic ethereal

Release Date : 23rd February 2015

Grasscut, the duo of Andrew Phillips and Marcus O’Dair, return in February with a new single, Curlews/September Night’s Sky – the first single from the band’s forthcoming third album, Everyone Was A Bird, to be released by Lo Recordings in May 2015. 

Whilst first performed in collaboration with the Kronos Quartet to over 4,000 people in a warehouse in Poland, Curlews origins lie much closer to home. It’s meditative piano intro, soaring strings and sense of open skies and distant horizons inspired by the British coastline. “I’d started it on the train from Birmingham to Wales,” say Phillips, “and as I reworked it later for the album the music, especially the piano and string rhythms, kept pulling me back back to the Mawddach Estuary. I kept stripping layers and layers away, till eventually the melody, mood, and words were exposed – like they'd always been there.”

“The poet Harriet Tarlo cautions against the lazy use of ornithological metaphors for human emotion, but watching the curlews on the estuary, I really thought: this is me, digging around in the mud till I find it. I hope that's not lazy.”

That sense of place and belonging resonates throughout much of Grasscut’s work, and the forthcoming album features liner notes from the renowned landscape writer Robert Macfarlane. 

Alongside Curlews comes September's Night Sky, a story of a spring equinox in the Southern Hemisphere. Scored by fragmented keyboards, guitars and sweeping strings it brings to mind the sense of both majesty and fragility that a starry night can inspire.

After "Theater Island," last year's 6-track EP, Sóley returns with her first full-length, an album full of rhythmic makeshift creatures, of handclaps hidden in the undergrowth, tempting us to join in. The 13 tracks are sometimes incredibly catchy; amazingly quirky at other times: think cardigan-folk from the northern hemisphere, an ocean of stained glasses bopping up and down in the shared apartment's dishwater, leeward in limbo. The result is refreshing in its lack of edginess; think Joanna Newsom minus her harp, or the Casady sisters circa 2004, but then clearly better trained, less crooked. In other words: her voice, those loops moving around like wooden toys, and finally the piano – that's the backbone, the essence of her compositions; at least until some unexpected element appears elsewhere, a rhythmic creaking or the lack thereof, like a hidden Rube Goldberg machine, setting off yet another component, thus paving the way across the threshold and on into the next realm of sound. And thus we keep on sinking, deeper and deeper, until we stand on terra firma once again, realizing that somehow, next to us, above us, around us, a beat is laid out, hesitantly moving along at first, then careering…

Slow Down Jo

Ein wunderbares Debütalbum der dänischen Künstlerin Agnes Obél das sich stilistisch zwischen Katie Melua und Feist bewegt. Agnes Obel ist dem deutschen Publikum bereits über ihren fantstischen Song „Just so“ bekannt der von der Telekom in einer ihren letzten groß angelegten Kampagnen verwendet wurde und viele Zuhörer begeistert hat – einmal gehört hat man den Song nie wieder vergessen!

Das Album zeichnet sich aus durch die markante Stimme von Agnes Obel sowie einer reduzierten Instrumentierung (Cello & Piano) die das Album zu einem essentiellen Listening Album für zuhause machen.
