Medúlla
After a blissful Labor Day weekend (photos to be posted soon), it’s back to work. Tonight in the background I’ve got Björk’s new album playing. It’s called Medúlla, and there aren’t any instruments formally. I say formally because gosh darn it Björk pulled out her sampler and some of the voices are, shall we say?, manipulated. But mostly what struck me on first listen is the spiritual tone of some of the songs. I think vocal music is naturally spiritual—think Gregorian Chants, folks. Anyway, this is an album that is too interesting to pass judgement on after only one little listen. But after one listen, I’ll say this, it’s one of the most interesting albums I’ve heard all year.
