Post

Hey, I just realized that this is a post titled Post. Never mind, just a silly observation. On to the real content of the post. Every so often an album comes around that subtly changes things just a little bit. I believe this is one such album. Hailing from Iceland, Bjork (former lead singer of The Sugarcubes) released this second solo album in 1995 and it is a doozy. It’s an avant-garde approach to pop which is hard to describe. The best description I can think of is of off-beat and experimental song constructions which incorporate an eclectic blend of dance and techno, but which are extremely free-form in their interpretation. And let’s face it, her voice is really unique, so I guess you just have to listen to it and make up your own mind. Oh, and there is even a Cabaret/Hollywood style number entitled It’s Oh So Quiet. This album was certified platinum in the U.S. and had three songs that charted in the U.K Top 10: the afore-mentioned It’s Oh So Quiet, Army Of Me and Hyper-ballad.
