{"product_id":"agnes-obel-aventine","title":"Agnes Obel - Aventine","description":"\u003cp\u003eAgnes Obel followed her breakout debut \u003cem\u003ePhilharmonics\u003c\/em\u003e with \u003cem\u003eAventine\u003c\/em\u003e, a record built on the same close, intimate production but pushed further into string arrangement and a kind of restrained drama. She wrote, arranged and produced the whole thing herself at her own Chalk Wood Studios, mic'ing everything tightly enough that the album feels less like a performance in a room and more like something whispered directly to the listener.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat closeness is the whole trick. Obel's voice rarely rises above a murmur, but the arrangements around it — piano, cello, violin, the occasional touch of strings — swell and recede with real dynamic range, so the quiet passages feel quiet by contrast rather than by default. \"Fuel to Fire\" later turned up as the theme to the BBC's \u003cem\u003eVigil\u003c\/em\u003e, but the whole record works the same way: understated until suddenly it isn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans of: Nils Frahm, Ólafur Arnalds, Anne Müller.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"[PIAS] Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54881554563340,"sku":"12B-01665","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4459\/3932\/files\/3000x3000bb_3af8f54b-4e33-4447-a7b1-9ea3e3e82149.jpg?v=1785013563","url":"https:\/\/12-bar.com\/products\/agnes-obel-aventine","provider":"12 Bar Music and Social","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
