It was my AOTY for 2020. For sure.

nice one, agreed. and def a grower. but I am still wondering if the voices in one song (I don't know which) are computer-pitched or not. there is this point where Obel is singing and then a relatively high pitched voice is repeating it and after that a relatively low pitched voice - and both are sounding pretty unnatural. any ideas?

Yeah she does that sometimes, starting with Citizen Of Glass. But I think it's used to incredible artistic effect, so I actually feel it adds to the music here, instead of taking away from it. She employs it as an instrument, or to bring texture, or a different layer.

I would be skeptical if it wasn't for Familiar

Me too. It sounds so weird on paper yet she makes it work like crazy for some reason. Familiar is a GOAT song by now I think. Utterly perfect.

Familiar is definitely a top song of all time for me. Spent awhile wondering who the dude was that sang at the end then loved it even more when I discovered it was an effect

Knew at once it was pitch-shifted Agnes, but then again I listen to a lot of Fever Ray

I'll have to check out Fever Ray. I've heard the name but never listened. I found Agnes through that DARK show on Netflix so it threw me off a bit. Found a lot of good music while watching that show tbh

Video is blocked in my country sadly. Is the song title what the video title is?

Love it. That show had such a perfect music selection. Every song used fit the vibe in such an amazing way. Gonna have to rewatch it soon. Agnes was my favorite find from it so far but now I've got to deep dive into Fever Ray. Also love Apparat and Soap&Skin now too

Yeah, that song (Keep the Streets Empty for Me) is from her self-titled. One of my favourite albums of all time, a total 5
