Pursuing The Obel Arts: An Interview With Agnes Obel

It's a typical early summer afternoon in the German capital, a clear blue sky splattered with brooding clouds. In the back garden of a typically eccentric Berlin café – with a caravan and garden shed available for overnight stays – a typical musical journalist is trying to have a typical conversation with a typical musician, attempting to draw parallels between her work and her personality, something which occasionally, typically, is making the musician squirm.

There's nothing combative about the conversation: both know that they're engaged in something that is probably taking place in countless cafés, bars and clubs around the world, a necessary part of the process of trying to make a living from the business of music. And yet, at the same time, both know that the process is somewhat futile. The music journalist has an hour in which to unlock the secrets of the musician's work and make it interesting to readers, and the musician in turn needs to communicate enough to intrigue the journalist or else the promotional opportunity will have been wasted. Another day in the life…

Agnes Obel was turning 30 as she released her first solo album, Philharmonics , last year, its dozen songs largely centred around delicate piano melodies and a voice that rarely rises above a pillow talk whisper. Written primarily for her own pleasure, the songs weren't considered appropriate for the bands with whom she played, and in years past might not have made it beyond the walls of her apartment. But, like nearly every musician active in the 21st century, Obel uploaded a bunch of tunes to Myspace, that infinite catalogue of sound amid which millions of dreams wither and die. By chance, one of them was somehow stumbled upon by - and deemed suitable for the purposes of - the agency commissioned to market Deutsche Telekom, owners of T-Mobile, in Germany. Before long, prospective owners of 'Das T-Mobile G1 mit Google' were being seduced by the sight of a young couple reunited beneath a shower of flower petals soundtracked by the fragile strains of Obel's 'Just So'. As these things go, it was a touching, impressively sentimental 43 seconds, the capitalist interests of Europe's biggest telecommunications company softened by the illusion that all they really want to do is bring people together. The people were moved. The advertisement worked. But it worked best for Agnes Obel. Which makes the music journalist, as a thoroughly dissatisfied customer of Deutsche Telekom, like her that little bit more.
