"Myopia" captures Agnes Obel at her most insular, a meticulously constructed world of echoing pianos and spectral vocals. The album demonstrates her signature blend of classical minimalism and dark, alternative sensibilities.
- "Myopia" was recorded in Obel's own studio in Berlin, with the artist handling all production and arrangement.
- The album reached number 1 in the charts in Denmark and Poland, and number 4 in Germany.
- The title "Myopia" refers to a visual defect, but also to a limitation in thinking or point of view.
