Philharmonics is the debut studio album by Danish singer-songwriter Agnes Obel. It was released on 17 September 2010 by PIAS. The album received positive reviews from both Danish and international music critics. Philharmonics peaked at number one in Denmark and Belgium, and charted inside the top ten in France and the Netherlands. The album has sold 450,000 copies in Europe. The album includes the singles `Riverside`, `Just So`, and `Brother Sparrow`.

Obel cited Erik Satie as an influence on many of the compositions: `I am a huge fan of his work on silences. I like also his uses of repetitive sequences, almost hypnotic. That gives extremely strong pieces, calms and powerful at the same time.`

According to the singer, `The texts come from the melody, its atmosphere, the piano (…) They also speak about the uncertainty of the future and undoubtedly of the feeling of loneliness, but without the anger which, for me, is not a musical engine`.

Philarmonics`s lyrics are simple, mysterious, and allegoric. Philippe Cornet says, `The texts in question sound like metaphors of love, death, impetuosities of nature or sudden rustles of the city.`

Philharmonics contains three titles that are purely instrumental: `Falling, Catching`, `Louretta` and `Wallflower`.
