björk is not waifupop, and most posters in /WPOP/ agree
>>63614001
Just a reminder, her name is actually pronounced "Byerk" and not "Byork". Common misconception.
>>63613984
how to get into jork?
>>63614001
>>63614144
I'd start with Post or Debut, they are her more pop-oriented and eclectic releases.
If you enjoy the lush strings+electronics go for Homogenic, Vespertine and Vulnicura.
If you prefer more experimental, I suggest Medùlla and Drawing Restraingt 9
If you like her voice with jazz, listen to Gling-Gló
If you're more of an ambient guy, go for Biophilia
>>63614114
in her own words, "It rhymes with jerk"
Vespertine>Homogenic>Post>Biophilia>Debut>Vulnicura>Medùlla>Volta
4chan just doesn't deserve threads of Bjork.
>>63614425
we've got to heal /mu/, make it a better place
I heard Bork for the first time when I was about 7-8 years old. It was on "old MTV" and it was the music video for Hunter. I was struck down by its psychedelic visuals and cosmic razor sharp icy music. Then, as a child I gradually forgot about her until I saw her on TV again, opening the Athens Olympics. Since then I adore every musical world that she created. She is my biggest inspiration and my best music teacher. She taught me to appreciate the beauty of sound and to see music in nature.
>>63613984
nice to see the 808 State collab there

>>63614463
Erase all the poptimism meme threads like the ones of Charlie XCX, Grimes, Marina and the Diamonds, St. Vincent and Chvrches then.
>>63614508
Thanks for sharing anon. She's my biggest inspiration as well. I'd say she's the first true musician I listened to in depth, and I thank her for introducing me to many new sounds. LONG LIVE BJERK
>>63614577
I hope the new /WPOP/ general contains them. There was too much poptimism shitposting, specially Grimes
>>63614376
Medulla > Post = Homogenic > Vulnicura > Vespertine > Biophilia > Volta > Debut
>>63614618
props for having Post that high. I feel it is kinda underrated among Bjork fans
>>63614703
Medulla is her magnum opus.
Hyperballad is her best song.
>>63614813
I still haven't returned to Medùlla in its entirety. I should probably revisit it since I remember some tracks were killer
>>63614848
>dat small image
>>63614813
Bachelorette's my personal favorite from her. It's so dramatic and overwhelming that it's actually kind of breathtaking.
>>63614813
Jóga will always be a personal favorite because it was the first track that got me into her
what is bjork's best band work, and why is it The Eye?
>>63615070
not even the best kukl
>>63615070
cvlt
>>63615070
>>63615137
They're both oddly glorious and devastating pieces.
>>63614508
Björk is one of the greatest minds of the contemporary scene in which to art is concerned. She has the ability to combine pure poetry, perfectly executed melodies, visual accompaniments that fit perfectly with each idea of what the songs represent, and last but not least, a unique voice that comes deep inside one and touches the inner senses.
>>63613984
Why have you put Niggas on the Moon in the collage?
>>63614001
A pleb among us.
>>63615472
It consists of her sampled vocals, which she recorded for the album
>>63615398
Agree. Living legend
>>63615549
I know well, but I wouldn't consider it a Bjork album though.
>>63615607
Oh, it's not meant to be a collage of bjork albums. Just releases in which she is featured to promote a more varied discussion
Daily reminder that Come to Me and The Anchor Song is better than everything on Vespertine!
>>63615742
Come to Me has to be one of my top Björk tracks. Shit sooo good. Did you listen to Atlantic?
Vespertine b-sides are the best b-sides. Batabid gives me a feeling of claustrophobia.

>Vespertine b-sides are the best b-sides
I agree my friend. Even the simpler songs like "Domestica" are irresistible
>>63616004
Why claustrophobia dude? Batabid is so ethereal and chilling that makes you dream actually.
Her vocal lines are pure gold, Aurora, Hyperballad and Jòga (just to name three random songs) are two giant classics in which you can contemplate her ability to incorporate pure passion in the voice. Bjork's spontaneous way to use vocal chords is immaculate.
>>63616272
I don't know. I listened to it when I was in the subway station in a rush hour surrounded by a ton of people. It just sounds so enveloping and cocoon like.
>>63616496
I love how she can naturally make up a vocal melody to literally every piece of music.
what are some underrated Bjork songs I should re listen to
I need something new
>>63616530
Then listen to this in the dark if you want negative feelings to suppress you desu.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alsBp61Dptc
>>63616721
Anything pre-Debut, bands, b-sides, collaborations. Listen to the album Life's Too Good by Sugarcubes if you didn't yet.
>>63616729
>negative feelings to suppress
But I don't feel it. It's calming and soothing.
The only songs I know with Bjork are "It's Oh So Quiet" and "Birthday" by the Sugarcubes. I agree with her a lot on social issues like Feminism and Gay Rights as well as her political views.
Where do I begin? Should I first listen to the Sugarcubes or just start with her solo work?
John Tavener loved the rawness of her voice so much he wrote a composition for her:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEhq3rkbVr8
>>63616721
B-sides. Drawing Restraint 9 is pretty underrated too. If you'd like to check her band work I recommend KUKL
>>63616956
see
>>63614238
>>63616956
First listen to the Sugarcubes, definitely. Then starts with her solo albums chronologically.
>>63617335
The cat song is my favourite.
Kott kott kott! Kott kott kott! Kissu kissu kissu!
>>63614114
thanks
>>63616912
>batabid claustrophobic
>bath calming
I said in the dark, alone. It's ok anyway, you kinda seem to have inverted feeling perception desu.

le whaaa??
>>63613984
Bjork - Undo literally sounds like heaven.
>>63617512
I'm in complete darkness plus f.lux on the lowest settings. I don't know, I just find the main vocal melody of Bath very lullabyish.
Ancestors on the other hand creeps the fuck out of me, Tagaq is non human.

>>63617570
that's right senpai
http://consequenceofsound.net/2016/03/bjork-confirms-shes-at-work-on-a-new-album-with-arca/
>>63617638
I remember being high on some brick weed at 16, in total darkness hearing that track and Unison and feeling like I was ascending to heaven
I still haven't got into the Sugarcubes. Should I go for Life's Too Good?
>>63618202
Oh yes.
>>63618202
Absolutely yes, do it now dude.

>>63618462
Walkabout's lyrics are so lewd.
>>63618500
Is that an LSD trip?
>>63618591
björk+LSD= yeee
>>63613984
>Are you hype for the new album with Arca?
I hope to get news about as soon as possible, actually if there's Arca or not is quite irrelevant for the moment. Unfortunately she never talks about her upcoming records, so there's to wait.
>>63618772
supposedly, it will be more happy and optimistic. can't wait to get a new fun-bjork release
>>63618795
Something like Big Time Sensuality.
>>63618828
Damn, the robot aesthetic design of the AIFOL video influenced pretty every robots we see today.
>>63618795
I very much enjoyed the darker turn Vulnicura took. I think when all's said and done, that's gonna be the album's relative legacy within her discography. I can't say a whole lot of her music is particularly bleak but Vulnicura took you down some dark places, man.
Any thoughts on her KUKL band?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYzcPMaf1Ls
This video/song is the definition of "nightmare".
>>63619082
Bjork is not really fun-happy since Post actually.
>>63619566
Dark, twisted, maniacal, hardcore, avant-garde, actually indefinable bands in my opinion.
>>63619566
Awesome, but Tappi Tìkarrass are better.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZJDr6yex2c
Bjork and Joni Mitchell sang together once. Too bad there's no registration of that event.
>>63620490
God that is a real pity, it would have been beyond beautiful to hear that duo.
[spoiler]hey[/spoiler]
>>63620641
Hey look one of those bored assholes who post a meme of 20 years ago.
>>63618462
Is she having an orgasm there?
>>63620490
Did they sing Boho Dance?
>>63621253
No, though there's a cover by her of that song and it's incredibly beautiful.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARfX5a_UIkw
>>63614114
I've always called her in the right way then, good. Now, how to pronounce her surname? That's the real question.
>>63621831
It's pronounced "kvʏðmʏntsˌtouhtJr". Clear right?
>>63621831
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSEiRTqWIOI
>>63620490
Two of the most unique female artists ever together? Oh my god where is this performance.
>>63620490
wow I didn't know about this
>>63613984
niggas on the moon was better than jennu deathu
