Danish singer-songwriter Agnes Obel released her latest album Citizen of Glass back in October. Dealing with the German concept that deals with a person’s level of privacy, Obel said before the LP was released that: “I worked with the title from the very beginning to push myself to do new things. I wanted to push myself conceptually from the starting point, to push the glass theme throughout the songs in different ways – in the lyrics, in the instruments – to do things in a very new way. As an album, it feels bigger to me, a lot bigger.”
Ahead of a string of dates in the UK later this month, Obel has unveiled the brand new video for ‘It’s Happening Again,’ which is officially released as a single on 30th December. Created and directed by long-time collaborator Alex Bruel Flagstad, the animated video is rendered in a slightly blocky, 31-bit style but presents a series of buildings and characters – including Obel herself – as part of a wider cosmos. Watch below.
Later this month, Obel heads out on a small, four-date tour of the UK. Details below.
