Agnes Obel has unveiled new single "Parliament Of Owls", a third taster of her forthcoming album Myopia.

"Parliament Of Owls" arrives after previous singles "Island Of Doom" and "Broken Sleep".

Myopia will be Obel's first album since 2016's Citizen of Glass.

Discussing the new LP, Obel says, "For me, Myopia is an album about trust and doubt. Can you trust yourself or not? Can you trust your own judgments? Can you trust that you will do the right thing? Can you trust your instincts and what you are feeling? Or are your feelings skewed?"

Myopia was recorded at Obel's Berlin home studio, the same process that she used to create her previous records. She says of her process, "The albums I’ve worked on have all required that I build a bubble of some kind in which everything becomes about the album."

"Parliament Of Owls" is out now. Agnes Obel's Myopia album arrives 21 February via Deutsche Grammophon. She plays London's Eventim Apollo on 9 April. Find out more.
