/björk/

>>75035173
so, /bjork/ is the new /grimes/?

I've probably heard bjork songs in my time but couldn't tell you any off the top of my head.

Where do I start to into Bjork?

>>75035196
no. it's /björk/.

>>75035202
What kind of music do you listen to most of the time?

>>75035202
Homogenic is a good stylistic midpoint. Go early for more pop and later for more avant. Vespertine is my personal favorite

>>75035173
Stealing is a crime

>>75035227
LCD Soundsystem has been taking up most of my time recently, but I'll happily listen to most things other than hippedyhoppedy and that there rap or on the other end of the spectrum screaming stuff.

>>75035245
Björk used to shoplift a lot when she was younger, since she had no money. Some anons may not have the money to buy her records.

>>75035259
Try listening to her discography chronologically, from Debut up to now.

Who else is hyped for the new single on the 18th? What do you think it's gonna sound like?

very excited
hopefully something melodic. want something uplifting and reassuring in the way the Undo is, but something uplifting and energetic would do me nicely too.
desu i don't really care what is sounds like, as long as it sounds good as what it is being.

>>75036735
Good attitude, hoping for something very positive as well.

her live albums are underrated
debut live is super comfy, very nice to listen to past midnight, and they all generally7 have very interesting and enjoyable live renditions of album tracks and b sides.
she manages to always have such a great tracklist in them so they generally all feel great as an album experience

I agree, they're all VERY comfy to listen to, especially at night i find. I often put them on when im in bed w/ my headphones.
And as for good live versions, army of me on voltaic is great and I go humble on i think Homogenic live is really cool as she does a little michael jackson bit at the end.

Live albums as a whole are underrated. For some reason people don't like to stray outside of studio albums.

OP here, any way you'd improve the pasta for this general?

>>75036914
yeah absolutely. i always love to put a live album on in the background, i'd rather have them play whilst i do other stuff so i can give studio versions better attention and hearing live versions of songs helps them to stay fresh

>>75036977
For me, live albums are sort of like remixes, adding a different layer or feel to the original. Remixes are also pretty underrated.

>>75036883
Good post.
I especially like Vespertine live, I think that's the best as an album. Also a big fan of vulnicura live since I like her more aged, mature voice

Found out about the album bytes by mad dog productions bc of her
Very good, would definitely recommend to a bjork fan despite it not being completely similar. They also did some pretty good remixes of some tracks on debut which are worth checking out.

>>75037061
>mad dog productions
meant black dog productions. silly me

>>75036735
>>75036912
Christ she looks cute here

>>75037061
Reminded me of this list
http://www.therestisnoise.com/2011/11/my-favorite-records-björk.html

Thoughts? She has pretty interesting taste. Surprising choices, which is actually unsurprising.

The dreaming is a solid pick tho, i can say that

>>75037061
>>75037077
Man the black dog are amazing. Haven't listened to them in a while, should tho. They're true pioneers, should be discussed as much as autechre and aphex twin.
Nice to see bytes show up on this list desu
>>75037128

She seems to have great taste imo

>>75037128
Patrician.

>>75035202
The only right answer is chronologically from debut

Any fanbase is a mistake. It's incredibly sad how you can turn a talented artist into something you hate because of her stupid fans. Bjork has become the new grimes.

>>75037128
>Desertshore
Wtf I like Björk now

@75037354
No she hasn't. Stop shilling this stupid meme. Please leave.

>>75037354
nah there's a lot of genuine discussion in this thread. you don't have to post in it, but there's people her who do want to talk about her. just because an artist has fans that want to discuss them (in a thread separate to any other artist, so we aren't exactly interfering with anything) doesn't mean they have a bad fanbase.

>Bjork has become the new grimes.
the whole thing with grimes was that fans would constantly invade other threads and start claiming grimes is the best there ever was. bringing her up in unrelated situations. just generally being annoying
i personally don't see bjork fans doing this. i also dont see whats wrong with having a general for an artist who's fairly popular here and has upcoming material.

Stop replying to the bait, there's no convincing him.

Thanks for the dl link op

>>75035222

Love Karvel, Charlene is great too, most of her b-sides are.

>>75035510

I'm very excited, basically what this anon said >>75036735 I noticed on the new artwork the Vulnicura wound is glowing/healed. Really hope that song she wasn't sure to put on the album which was "straightforward" and the most medolic of the lot is on there.

>>75037354

I know I shouldn't reply but fans discussing her work isn't sad, especially when there's new music out in a week. It would be sad if people made tons of threads or spammed her in unrelated threads. Do you hate Radiohead or Death Grips because of their numerous threads every day? There's not too many Bjork threads these days, and when there is most of the time there's good discussion.

>>75036883

They're great, got all her live DVDs too. Vespertine and Volta live are my favourites.

>>75037832
You're welcome. I think everybody deserves a chance to listen to her music, and I also think it's really valuable to maintaining a general.

>>75037618
Hey, it's an interesting concept -- an entirely vocal album.

>>75037354
Please fuck off and stop projecting Grimes fans onto Bjork fans just because she's an independent female artist.

best time to listen to bjork is late at night i find

>>75037957
This is true. I feel like that's almost what she intended.

Start with Debut then listen chronologically

Homogenic on a cold winter's night is class

>>75038104
Vespertine on a cold winter night must be ascension.

>>75038110
It is especially on acid.

>>75038110
Yeah Vespertine also really captures the icy aesthetic

I think it must be an Iceland thing, I get the same sort of vibes from Sigur Ros

This week i listened to all of Björk solo studio albums since debut (including selmassongs), some of them for the first time.This is my ranking:
1. Homogenic 10/10
2. Vespertine 10/10
3. Post 9/10
4.Debut 9/10
5. Vonicura 8/10
6. Selmassongs 7/10
7. Medulla 7/10
8. Volta 6/10
9 Biophilia 6/10

Volta was to uneven (had some of of the worst Björk songs, but i really like some of the tracks). Biophilia was boring and didn't do much to me. All the rest album i either like or loved.

>>75038166
What would you say Debut and Post are? Maybe a late summer sunset?

>>75038188
I like to listen to Debut in Autumn I don't know why.

>>75038184
very reasonable scores

>>75038188
Personally Debut and Post give me real hustle-and-bustle in the city vibes. Debut seems more like in the city at day while Post is the night time continuation of it.

>>75038218
Same here, I think it's that weird in between period of summer and fall, with the slower songs representing fall, and the dance-pop tracks representing summer.

>>75038242
This makes sense too.

>>75037128
She likes the best Kate Bush album. Nice

>>75038423
Haven't listened to them yet, where should I start?

>>75037128
she also loves Death Grips which is obvious because of her collab with them

>>75038423
pretty good. didn't expect to like them as much as i did. quite catchy and melodic

>>75038423

They’re really good.

Sugarcubes are good and all but they’re my least favourite of all of her bands.

is there a complete list of b-sides/rare tracks and where to get them? preferably without too many remixes

We have a download to her whole discography in the OP, you can research the B-sides from there.

>>75038625
look up any of her b-sides on youtube and you'll be able to find more

love her mad costumes

>>75038765
Yeah it makes her look like a chunky ogress

>>75038785
Same here, she gets really creative when it comes to expressing the concept of her album.

>>75038639
>>75038673
thanks but i'm not looking for the actual music, more like an autistically compiled and cross-referenced index of songs. lemme know if you have anything

>>75038810
yeah she manages to convey the "eras" surrounding each album very well

>>75038841
I wish her Homogenic and Medulla shoots had a more pronounced aesthetic though.

>>75038830
Dig around bjork.fr, you'll probably find something of that nature. Site's really well organized.

>>75038881
i really like style during homogenic tho. much more mature

>>75038915
*her style

>>75038915
Yes, but I never felt like it conveyed fully that "warrior of love" she was describing.

>>75038931
fair enough. i still think she was coolest around this time.

>>75038911
cheers

I hope you people can pronounce her name correctly and don't call her Bee-york

>>75038944
Oh yeah, definitely. I love her.

>>75038975
I try as best as I can, but it always comes out a little forced and weird.

>>75038166
I listen to Vespertine whenever we get the first snow. It's like a tradition for me at this point.

how do i get into bjork?

>>75041289
if you have to ask...

>>75041252
I feel like if they were to put a photo of Bjork on one of those satellites, they would pick this one.

She is rly old

>>75041289
Start with her earlier albums, Debut and Post. They are more poppier and less avant-garde.

>>75041289
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrFYSyxdVCo

>>75041252
I agree. She looks very beautiful and radiant here.

>>75041620
Yet she's still very sexy. How can a 51 year old woman be so beautiful?

>>75041289
greatest hits is a very good sampler

>>75041727
She does not smoke, maybe it's that. Kate Bush was a heavy smoker when young, now she doesn't look very good and her voice isn't the same. Björk voice hasn't change too much in the last 20 years

>>75042989
That is very possible. Smoking kills. But she's a very heavy drinker, what about that?
