LOS ANGELES, CA - (Tuesday, July 29, 2014) - In support of her upcoming North American tour, "Dorian," from Agnes Obel's critically-acclaimed second album Aventine (Play It Again Sam/[PIAS] America) goes to radio this week, accompanied by the stunning music video for the song.  According to one reviewer, "Dorian" is "light and delicate, soaring and a touch wistful, and beautiful enough to inspire belief, even in the least religious."  Aventine has been certified Platinum in France and Gold in Belgium.

The "Dorian" video clip is comprised of visuals from pioneering filmmaker Maya Deren's 1958 black and white short "The Very Eye of Night," that features students from the Metropolitan Ballet Company.  Deren, a choreographer, dancer, film theorist, poet, lecturer, writer and photographer, was one of the most important American experimental filmmakers of the 1940's and 1950's avant-garde period. 

Also in conjunction with Obel's upcoming North American trek, Aventine's "Pass Them By" will be featured in an upcoming episode of HBO's new series "The Leftovers," now boasting eight million viewers across all platforms.  Since its October 2013 release, numerous songs from Aventine have been featured on network TV programs including The CW's "Reign," "Star-Crossed," and "The Originals," ABC's "Betrayal," NBC's "Parenthood," and ABC Family's "Ravenswood," and "Pretty Little Liars."
