Agnes Obel - Munich 19th July 2022
Another show postponed from 2020.
The performance took place in an active church, which was both atmospheric, but also weirdly passive.
Agnes joined on stage by three sirens in the classic rock line-up of cello, cello, drums/glockenspiel.
These three were integral to the performance, rather than a backing role for Agnes, and were all superb.
Great location for this type of music - chamber pop? orchestral indie? , candles still in place on altar, 20ft Jesus suspended above the band etc , but sitting down, on wooden church pews seemed to kill the involvement for me somehow.
Regardless, great performance, not just from AO, but also the rest of the band.
