Agnes Obel is an amazing singer, pianist. Got all albums. You should hear all in your own. Sublime melancholic music.

This is so much Nordic and Scandinavian tunes, especially the first three songs - picture youself by a campfire in the vast woods, surrounded by troll, älvor (fairies) in the mist, and a moose, a wolf or even a bear strolling by, while you hear these songs. Mystic, magic, beautiful.

Thanks, Dave...Tremendous marathon...Oslo has become one of my favorite cities in the world since I started going there once a year on business, so now I've got to see if next time I'm going, I can catch one of these acts (or Aurora!)...And Nick, I can't believe it---no sooner was I was going to joke that with all these breathtaking Scandanavian female artists you'd get over your Rachel Weisz crush, and you come out on the video and say "She looks like Rachel Weisz!"...Spooky...

Thank you, Nick. Forgot to tell you Halo is a Beyonce cover. Cool you recognized. Ane Brun found in an Aurora documentary/concert. I think most of these along w Eivor were mentioned in comment section to Aurora videos over last year and half or so OR the YT algorithm. I then just follow the rabbit hole. Other song suggestions from gals, Agnes: The Curse or Run Cried the Crawling (Deezer Session), Anna: Mysterious Vanishing of Electra, Funeral for My Future Children, The Stranger. Have more Kalandra coming. BTW, your question at the end about Halo of what instrument. Probably a cello and guitar. Ane plays guitar and Linnea is a very accomplished cello player and played cello for Gabriel.

great suggestions. for "halo" try the live version by hjaltalín. and talking about nordic artists, no mentioning of susanne sundfor? for me she is the number one norwegian artist, long before aurora and co. she is a role model for all those young women in music like aurora, sigrid and co. ane is also one of auroras role models, she did a cover for one of auroras songs in the haik-documentary, right?

@@soleywolfgangsdottir Think we've done Susanne here before. Other I had to leave off is group Cesair from Netherlands, Kati Ran also from Netherlands and Victoria Bergsman from Sweden who sang with The Concretes and Taken by Trees. You just might see one or two of these down the road. More Kalandra is coming. I'm sure there are more I forgot or haven't discovered yet. I will check out the Halo you mentioned. Question, are you Wolfgang's daughter?

I absolutely love both Aurora and Kalandra (including Katrine), so I don't mind a bit if you like one over the other. But if you think Aurora is too intense, you need to listen to more of her, because she has many, many different styles. Perhaps something like "All is Soft Inside" live at KEXP Iceland 2018 or "Cure for Me" official music video might show you a different side of her.

Agree, at some point I'll do the SOS Ole Bull three songs w just her and a piano and sense of humor. Also, thinking about The Seed video for Earth Day in April. Will show two more views of Aurora.

kalandra, excellent band and excellent musicians. from all anna von hausswolff-songs this was the least expected, what a strange request. but you cannot do her justice with only one song anyways. agnes obel always stunns with her her precise compositions and live performances. for both anna and agnes i don't understand why you havn't picked some live videos. there are plenty of good videos to find. both agnes and anna are also doing movie scores. ane is pronounced with a long a at the beginning. the signature of her voice is absolut unique. regarding th cover of "halo". it has nothing to do with "hallo", it means heiligenschein in german. in my opinion the version by hjaltalín is even better. anes version of big in japan is phenomenal. linnéa plays cello heavenly. it's always funny that people who have a bit of nordic ancestry say they can understand nordic languages, which i highly doubt, to be honest. the similarities to german are too small. but it's good to try. i guess you are german, right? so my reccomendation is to start with norwegian. it's quiet easy to learn and gives you the opportunity to get into nordic languages in general. (there are two branchens of norwegian) if you have a common understanding of norwegian, it's easier to get into swedish as well. swedish has some quirks, though. if you are at this point, the written danish is also no longer a riddle, the spoken danish will still be. i think icelandic and faroese are the biggest challenge. the grammar is complicated.

@Dave-hb7lx 4 ай бұрын

I do have the Kalandra CD The Line and listen frequently in the car. I listen to Du kan nu do frequently and thought it would be a good intro song to Anna. Some of her live video isn't the best quality. I like Funeral for My Future Children but thought the title would turn some off. Stranger live is also good. Also like a few of her instrumentals like Deathbed. Her pipe organ music is impressive but can be a little tough to listen to. Yes, Agnes had a song in True Detective recently and Last of Us first season. Sometimes I feel some her music is auto tuned, maybe or maybe not. Not a criticism, just observation. I'm just trying to bring some "out of the envelope" music to the channel I'm familiar with that most others probably aren't. I enjoy your comments, thanks.

@@Dave-hb7lx don`t get me wrong, the song you've picked is good, just a very unusual choice. i can reccomend the songs she did with mikael karlsson. anna is seldomly featured on reaction channels. don't ask me why, she is in my opinion criminally underrated. agnes' music was also featured in cate blanchetts movie tár.. you might also like elsiane with vaporous live at studio.
