polyrizumu

the bridge hitting me all over again because it's.... the bridge of the alberm

rachel this is very serious edit: crystalize into retaliation lullaby... what in the **** is her PROBLEM she can't keep doing this to me!!!

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling MAGA too

absolutely f***ing floored by this album, what an insane triumph and creative re-peak - I was expecting more of a legacy sequel but this is so much more of like... the second side of the same coin? it's still incredibly expressive and dance-y but it's so vulnerable, especially as the album goes on. really love the way it feels like a night out, you got lost in the club, and now you're drunk taking a sad uber or walk home would've loved to have seen Nellee Hooper and Graham Massey on this, there's something very 808 State about a few of the cuts once summer hits the southern hemisphere I need to be OUTSIDE with this and Renaissance back-to-back (also give me a remix of My Sins are My Saviour that samples the beat of Victimhood by Björk )

a very stable which is sign good

wait perched for my first update live

omg Freefall with Moses Sumney would end me Her Mother's House with Kelela Trolla-Gabba with Arca

the Victimhood > Allow > Fungal City punch is just

I saw her DJ live once and she's not telling a single lie... it was such a ki Formation into Pose then back into Into You before heading into Japanese garden music and harsh noise.... and then back into All the Way Down by Kelela

when the björk cycle begins anew in like 3 weeks and the utopia revisionism begins >>>

skipping pre-release singles here just for off the top thoughts, grouping some of the similar tracks: Mycelia, Trolla-Gabba: Chopped and screwed vocal effects, super Medulla/Biophilia. Trolla-Gabba is insane. Sorrowful Soil: Enveloping, choral. I was expecting this to be the "sad" song of the two about her mum but it's still quite light, airy and vocal. Fagurt: Way too short, but it closes out the mum-section of the album and it ends in a hard cut which is kinda jarring but I think it's meant to represent death, sudden. Victimhood: Really alien, skittish, like if Dark Matter/Hollow/Enjoy had a baby - super earthy, dark and brooding. Allow: Breathy, light and floral - immediately better than most stuff on Utopia at first glance. Emilie doesn't add much but their voices go well together. Probably one of the weaker tracks imo Fungal City: The closest thing we'll ever get to a pop Björk song this side of post-Post. Serpentwithfeet doesn't add too much but adds a really nice, bassy rich sound. Freefall: Like if Harm of Will had a horny goth sister, not bad but probably not my immediate favourite - much slower and spacious than the rest of the tracks Her Mother's House: On first listen probably one of my favourite Björk songs ever also like......... still have no idea what she meant about this being an album for lunch and farting

the Allow > Fungal City > Trölla-Gabba punch

the way allow was held back from utopia to constrain its power
