Agnes Obel
Last one of the night Agnes Obel. Very dark orchestral songs. They were all slow building and had the crowd all paying rapt attention. She filled the church, and once done, the church emptied fast. …

With the recent release of the deluxe edition of Agnes Obel's hit second album Aventine and double LP of 2010's Philharmonics, both via Play It Again Sam/PIAS, Obel will be back in America to support the re-issues.
The new deluxe edition of Aventine includes a second CD with new songs "Under Giant Trees," "Arches," and "September Song," live versions of the singles "The Curse," "Words Are Dead," and "Aventine," plus a David Lynch remix of "Fuel To Fire" and a Daniel Matz reworking of "Dorian."
Regarding the remix, Twin Peaks' director/writer David Lynch had this to add, "I loved doing this remix. I was turned onto Agnes' music through my record label...I think she has a most beautiful voice and can do things with her voice that are unique and extraordinary."

Miranda July
I remember the first time I saw Me and You and Everyone We Know, I couldn't get that "pooping back and forth" icon out of my head. So, that, in a nutshell, is what I thought of Miranda July, who wrote

MIRANDA JULY
at McGuire Theater
Thursday 10/30/14, 8pm
$30: walkerart.org
Not a typical music concert, but I thought I'd also mention that writer/filmmaker Miranda July will be at the McGuire Theater in Minneapolis as part of her performance of "New Society". She will also be appearing on Halloween at the McGuire if you cannot make it on Thursday.
Here is the description from the Walker's website:
Performer/writer/filmmaker Miranda July risks all with a unique experiment in collaboration. This hilarious and moving performance artfully blends fiction and real life in a startling chronicle of time, love, and group faith. On this very special night, July tests the limits of what is possible given two hours and a room full of strangers.
The Walker has had an ongoing relationship with the cross-disciplinary artist. Most recently, July’s second feature film The Future, praised by critics as “surreal, precious, devastating, and brilliant” (Playlist), had its area premiere at the Walker in 2011, after screenings at the Sundance and Berlin film festivals.
