Tinseltown In The Rain (Cover)

The Danish-born Berlin-based singer-songwriter Agnes Obel landed a pan-European hit with her disarmingly beautiful debut album ‘Philharmonics’. After seven weeks at #1 in Denmark and hitting the Top 10 in both France and the Netherlands, the deluxe double CD version of the album will be released in the UK on May 2nd on Play It Again Sam.

Entirely self-produced and performed, ‘Philharmonics’ opens with the instrumental piano piece ‘Falling, Catching’ which sets the tone for Obel’s classically inspired songwriting. The next track, ‘Riverside’, flows with a depth of emotion embedded with further character by Obel’s love of combining her sweet melodies with carefully considered lyrics that evoke the song’s innate sound. ‘Just So’ works a similar trick, its blend of melancholy and optimism perfectly encapsulated into the opening line ‘Black turns beat me bright.’ Elsewhere, with ‘On Powdered Ground’, ‘Brother Sparrow’ or her interpretation of John Cale’s ‘Close Watch’, she melds different moods and atmospheres, all indelibly linked by the brittle majesty of her music.

The deluxe edition of the album adds a second CD featuring six tracks recorded at Obel’s recent acclaimed residency of sold-out shows in Copenhagen and five instrumental piano performances.

As a child, Obel was subconsciously guided into music by the influence of her mother and father, who would play and listen to a blend of the classical greats, folk music like Jan Johansson and the timeless sounds of Roy Orbison. After discovering the likes of Portishead and Elliott Smith as a teenager, she began writing her own piano-based songs, but it wasn’t until she moved to Berlin in 2006 that she began recording an album.

Many of the songs on ‘Philharmonics’ have subconsciously found an audience through their use in film and television. ‘Just So’ soundtracked a Deutsch Telekom advert, which gave Obel the unusual combination of having a song that everyone knew while having almost no profile as an artist herself. But soon opportunities presented themselves and continue to do so. One of Obel’s earliest breaks came when three of her demos featured in cult director Thomas Vinterberg’s film Submarino – ‘Riverside’ earned her a Robert Award (Denmark’s equivalent of the Oscars) for Best Song of the Year. Her music also reached a bigger North American and international audience when ‘Riverside’ was used in Grey’s Anatomy.

iTunes extended Obel’s profile further by requesting an exclusive release of ‘Philharmonics’ and highlighting Obel on the home page of their North American website. The attention of the press has been consistently positive with Vogue and culture magazine Telerama producing in-depth features in France, while Obel will also feature in both the North American and European issues of TIME.

Last week, Ryan Adams stopped by the BBC’s Radio 2 to perform an acoustic cover of Iron Maiden’s “Wasted Years.”The original, from 1986’s platinum Somewhere in Time,is classic Maiden, with Bruce Dickinson belting out his trademark squelch over thrashing guitar solos and driving drums. By contrast, Adams' sentimentally sung version,backed by a flowing fingerpicked acoustic guitar, brings forth the song's surprisingly emotional lyrical content.

Johnny Sands
Announces 2nd single ‘Das Pop’ – due Dec 4th

Upcoming live shows including Liverpool supporting Tea Street Band on 19/12/15 at Buyers Bar in Liverpool 

Please welcome Johnny Sands – a striking new talent from Lancashire whose second single ‘Das Pop’ will be released on Dec 4th through Baltic Records. 


Combining a delicate piano melody alongside drum machines, analog synths and Sands’ distinct vocals, the three-minute slice of pop showcases Johnny’s skills as an accomplished producer and singer. 

Son of a Parisian jazz musician and his muse, a psychologist who pioneered talking to animals, Johnny grew up immersed in music and arts. After travelling extensively and a brief dalliance as a model, Sands settled in Liverpool and quickly embedded himself in the local music scene curating and promoting gigs as well as working on his own music. 

A fruitful collaboration swiftly followed between himself and Swiss producer Dave Berger (Outfit) and after they disbanded, Sands concentrated on his solo efforts and self-released an EP, ‘Postcards’. The positive feedback galvanised him and he got to work on a debut album – which ‘Das Pop’ is taken from. His first single was download of the month in the Sunday Times. He is recently back from a series of gigs in Seoul, Korea.

Creating fragile soundscapes, Sands’ influences range from Air, Neil Young and Serge Gainsbourg to Talk Talk and The Blue Nile. 

Having supported the likes of Wild Beasts, Alt-J and Django Django, Johnny Sands is now striking out on his own; he has been confirmed for Liverpool Sound City and has also announced a single launch show in London.

For his blogs 4th birthday Mr @Peenko asked 4 bands/artists to record a new song, which had to be strictly no more than 2 minutes long. Then he had a proper artist provide some beautiful artwork. He put them together as an extremely limited set of flexi postcards which are now available here:
