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."

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:
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.
