I’m Trying To Find New Instruments To Work With So It’s Sort Of On The Research Phase And Starting To Write Things." Agnes Says Also "I Have Some Clear Ideas But I’m Not Sure It Is A Good Idea To Go Into Specifics On Such An Early Stage. I Mainly Plan To Work With Old Keyboards Like Spinet And Harpsichord And Then See Where They Take Me." In June 2015 Obel Worked On Her New Album With A Serial Of Mixing Sessions.
