Agnes Obel is also preparing for her first full U.S. in June. Agnes’ new tour will feature extensive runs along the east and west coast (see full tour dates below). And to kick off her tour, Agnes will also be performing on KCRW’s signature daily music show, Morning Becomes Eclectic on Friday, June 3rd. The last year has been a whirlwind for Agnes Obel. Since releasing her debut record, Philharmonics on PIAS America earlier this year, the Danish songstress has turned heads worldwide. Stripped down and centered around her evocative voice, Philharmonics has stood out as a fan and critic favorite.
Comparing Agnes to artists like PJ Harvey, Joanna Newson and even Roy Orbison, Agnes has earned praise from a wide range of critics, including Time Magazine, KCRW, Details, Perez Hilton, and NYLON. Anges has also has become something of a phenomenon overseas, going platinum (100.000 albums) in France, double platinum in Denmark, and sold out venues across Europe.
