See the Other Worldly - Official Video for Agnes Obel's "Golden Green" Directed By Jonas Bjerre

As  directed by visual artist Jonas Bjerre (who also fronts the Danish Alt/ Rock band MEW) Agnes Obel's video for her single Golden Green from the upcoming album Citizen Of Glass is a mesmerizing other worldly vision. Agnes Obel's evocative singing with her vocal chords resonating more like an instrument than a vehicle for speech pitches and stretches the words into amazing places making the lyrics almost sound like another language. This style only draws you in more to decipher the poetry.

Bjerre's fantastical imagining feels equally alien. You see what appears to be creatures made of light and alien worlds. Haunting yet gentle beings with almost mouse like heads. If this was a trailer for a movie, this is a movie I would WANT to see. Of the project Bjerre said,

"I was honored to take on the task of making a video for this beautiful song. The bells that emphasize the rhythm through the song, for some reason they made me think of blinking lights, and glass- glass being a recurring theme in Agnes's new songs. As she told me more about the song, I stared having ideas for some kind of internal world, maybe a world inside someone's head, where various thoughts and feelings are in opposition, depicted as animated versions of Agnes struggling to find harmony."

Golden Green is available to stream with pre-orders of Citizen Of Glass which I reviewed here out October 21st. The new album is available as a Digital Download, CD with Lyric Booklet and on 180G black Vinyl with a download code in a gatefold sleeve. Pre-order the album from www.agnesobel.com Agnes Obel will tour North America in 2017. Golden Green by Agnes Obel All I have or should want to be but never could it’s coming at, it’s coming at, it’s coming at my heart To spoil my soul with fire All my eyes can see is born out of your imagery it’s coming at, it’s coming at, it’s coming at my heart To scorch the earth with fire tell me who you really love tell me who you really love tell me who you really love Who are you to take over my mind with your eyes on me All for you I am climbing the sky of golden green Angel green and blue I’m gonna leave my mind with you It’s coming at, it’s coming at, it’s coming at my heart I know, I see, I wanna be just free I know, it craves, it’s running through my veins To spoil my soul with fire tell me who you really love tell me who you really love Who are you to take over my mind with your eyes on me All for you I am climbing the sky of golden green Green Green Green
