ChapelHooker Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Ovule finally clicked and WOW what a song she can really do no wrong huh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruel Summer Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I wonder what her vocals will be like for the rest of the album. While her higher register is understandably not what it was twenty years ago, her live performances just this year show that she still has great force and color to her voice, and Ovule seems to be intentionally restrained to help build the song's intended sound.

Lucas32 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Love both singles but I hope Atopos isn‘t the only song with that type of soundscape on the album…I need more fungal techno with dissonant clarinets in my life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Walls Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 So I love Ovule (ships ahoy!) but omg….the audio mix of the video is HORRIBLE. Like why…… The vid is top tier and I want it to show it to people but the mix is so bad it’s distracting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellenthin Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 This is my first Björk era. I have no idea how I'm supposed to digest almost a dozen new tracks from her at the same time.

RT Air Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Now if we’re reminiscing, my very first Björk moment was the Wanderlust video on MTV. I was so confused yet intirgued as I sat in front of that 7-min MV, having absolutely no idea what I was watching The rest is history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moloko Plus Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Quote “Victimhood”, perhaps the best song here, has the queasy, ominous atmosphere of a fantasy score: clarinets flood in from the edge of the frame like fog in a barren forest; a muffled, minimal metronome track – barely a beat as much as a discomfiting, ever-present joint crack – keeps uneasy time. In a discordant, incantatory tone, Björk sings about emotional suffering: “Rejection left a void that is never satisfied / Sunk into victimhood / Felt the world owed me love.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremiah Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) I think Biophilia was my first Björk era as an active music follower (already a fan), and I don't care one bit about it Virus is a career highlight though Edited September 18, 2022 by Jeremiah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOAZ Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I became a full on stan a bit after Volta release. The wait for Biophilia was excruciating but I remember the wonder and joy around the first Biophilia live show, the album delay and waiting months for album versions that couldn't hold a stick compared to the live versions (except Sacrifice which has always been a mess live) The heart attack I got when Vulnicura got l**ked and the gasp I left out when I saw the album cover on iTunes Utopia I remember staying up to listen to it and writing down my thoughts. I hated it at first listen and still do lol. But it was also a horrible time in my personal life so it may had to be related to it. I hope Fossora won't let me down but I already love Atopos more than the whole of Uflopia combined (except the perfect Future Forever) also this is a good time to remember King Serpentwithfeet SAVED the dull Blissing Me and served us Björk's poppiest moment of the 2010s with his flawless remix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
