For her Late Night Tales mix, it feels almost as if Obel has scoured the world looking for kindred spirits – or kindred songs. There’s a quietude about it all, the an thesis of a rush hour, like a frozen lake on a Sunday morning. This is aided by a veritable cornucopia of new Obel material, including a haun ng reading of Danish song "Glemmer Du", the aforemen oned ‘"Poem About Death", and an Agnes original, "Bee Dance".
"I was surprised at how much me I ended up spending on this. I collected all the songs together with my partner Alex and we just spent me listening to records, trying to see what would fit together. Some of the music I’ve included here is on mixtapes we made when we were just friends as teenagers. Each one of the tracks produces stories in my head."
