Instrumental Wednesday :: "Parliament of Owls" by Agnes Obel

By Ventipop @ventipop

Now there's a place for Instrumental music. It's Wednesdays on Ventipop. Each hump day, I'll feature a new, deserving instrumental track to tap your toes to, bob your head to, cry a tear to or in this week's case...close your eyes and sway your head from side to side.

"Parliament of Owls" is a new single by Agnes Obel. Atmospheric pop? Neoclassical new age? Chill out? All of the above? The music of Agnes Obel defies compartmentalization.

While she may not be a household name in North America, the Berlin-based, Danish-born singer-songwriter and musician has been building a career in the music business for the last decade. She's currently on tour in Europe in support of her fourth album, Myopia which was released on February 21.
