Agnes Obel – Just So
Just So is the second track lifted from Agnes Obel’s debut album Philharmonics.
Ostensibly, there isn’t very much to this single just Ms Obel’s hauntingly soft vocals, accompanied by sparse piano. It’s almost childlike in it’s performance, and could quite easily pass you by, but after a few listens and it starts to reveal itself: The vocal harmonies, the male vocal accompaniment that comes and goes almost in an instant and the subtle changes of mood from the piano. It’s bewitching.
It’s a cliché but this single, and the album for that matter, are best appreciated after midnight with a good brandy.
