Pretty much fully agree with this. Swap the vocals out for Arca’s and this would’ve sounded right at home on his s/t this year.

Much more maudlin than what I was expecting given how it’s been talked up this year. Very pretty but not much memorable about it. Kind of worried about the album now. But like someone else noted, I’ve not really loved a full album by her for a while now…

the album is called… Utopia… :smile: :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Got so excited about the return of Bjork that we’ve made a special 2 hour radio show dedicated to her. This show airs at midday on Monday on Soho Radio, and is now available to listen to on demand.

björk: a celebration / and a mixtape especially for her

A deep dive into the world of Bjork, plus an hour long mixtape for her. Emily Mackay who’s written a 33 1/3 book about Homogenic joins fellow Guðmundsdóttir fan Danielle Perry to discuss the “stern” power and life-changing beauty of Bjork’s music. Followed by DiS editor Sean Adams who continues to act as a human algorithm and compiles an hour long personalized mixtape for Bjork featuring the likes of Hannah Peel, Olafur Arnalds and more. Hear previous mixtapes for David Lynch, St Vincent and more over on our Mixcloud https://www.mixcloud.com/seaninsound/

I’m quite tempted because it’s Bjork but I’d be so miffed if the sound was shit and it was full of chatty bellends.

pretty much guaranteed

I expect this will get posted in the Worst Album Artwork thread but I love it. Is that some kind of mystic horse foetus on her collar?

Think anyone who knows anything about Björk wouldn’t dare put her in that thread

Well, the cover is undeniably bloody awful, but it’s bloody awful in the only way that makes sense with Björk. You get the notion that most people try and reign Kanda in a bit, but Björk is just basically ‘fuck it, go wild, rainbow space vaginas on my forehead, please’.
