"Aventine" in 2013 and "Citizen of Glass" in 2016 followed, each album solidifying her standing as an artist of depth and introspection. Her most recent album, "Myopia" in 2020, and its accompanying instrumentals confirm her skillful composition and thoughtful storytelling through music. Furthermore, her recent work includes scores for cinema, evidenced by releases like "Foe (Original Motion Picture Score)," and she continues to engage with her fans through live performances, as captured in "Live 2022" recordings. Agnes Obel stands out in the contemporary music landscape as an artist who crafts immersive auditory experiences that resonate with a quiet intensity.
