10: Agnes Obel - Philharmonics
This album was a complete impulse buy - just because I liked the poster they had up on display in the record store. As a result, I didn’t really know what I was getting into other than Scandinavian woman playing the piano and singing. I was very pleased with the result. Some wonderful arrangements, beautiful understated delivery, some instrumentals - a great collection of songs that hasn’t left my car CD changer, which is always a sign of an LP I’m happy to listen to at any time.
