Agnes Obel Brings Aventine On October 7th

AGNES OBEL’S AVENTINE DELUXE EDITION
SET FOR AN OCTOBER 7 NORTH AMERICAN RELEASE
Bonus Material Will Include a Remix
by Iconic Film Director David Lynch

“Stunning…mesmerizing…ethereal soundscapes.” – WXPN/The Key
“Agnes Obel’s sparse, haunting songs shine brightly…” – Village Voice
“A fully-realized and confident artistic vision from an exciting young voice.”
– WNYC’s “Soundcheck”

On October 7, Play It Again Sam/PIAS America will release in North America a deluxe edition of Agnes Obel’s hit second album Aventine. Originally released in September 2013 to unanimous critical acclaim, Aventine has been a success all across Europe, reaching the Top 10 in five countries and achieving Platinum status in France, as well as Gold in Belgium and her native Denmark. The new deluxe edition includes a second CD with new songs “Under Giant Trees,” “Arches,” and “September Song,” live versions of the singles “The Curse,” “Words Are Dead,” and “Aventine,” plus a David Lynch remix of “Fuel To Fire” and a Daniel Matz reworking of “Dorian.”

Said David Lynch, “I loved doing this remix. I was turned onto Agnes’ music through my record label…I think she has a most beautiful voice and can do things with her voice that are unique and extraordinary.”

Listen to the David Lynch remix of Fuel to Fire here.

Also released on October 7 is a double LP of Aventine and Philharmonics, Obel’s 2010 debut album. Each is a limited edition pressing on black heavyweight vinyl, and the package includes a CD of both albums, which have to date sold almost a million copies combined. Aventine was recorded at Obel’s Chalk Wood Studios in Berlin between January and May 2013. Like Philharmonics, the new album was written, arranged, and produced by Obel, who provides piano and vocals.

Adding to her impressive European success, Obel has been making her mark here in North America. When she performed at SXSW earlier this year, NPR’s Bob Boilen singled her out as a festival favorite. She recently recorded special sessions for the syndicated public radio program “Echoes” and WNYC’s “Soundcheck,” and will be profiled shortly on PBS’s “Art Beat.” In addition, her music has been featured on numerous U.S. network television programs, most recently HBO’s hit series “The Leftovers.”
