We’re entering what I like to refer to as Vespertine season; a time when my mild seasonal affective disorder kicks in, leaving me with no choice but to take solace in Bjӧrk‘s fifth studio album from 2001. Most of you are going to read that last sentence and be like, “What???”, but I’d like to think that the Bjӧrk fans out there know what I’m talking about…
The oddball Icelandic artist will be releasing a remix disc called Bastards next Tuesday, featuring remixes by Death Grips, Matthew Herbert and more. She’s released an official video for Biophilia track “Mutual Core” to promote the project, and it’s just as “Bjӧrk” as you’d expect it to be… In other news, I apparently need to give Biophilia a second chance? Good to know.

Click through to watch the music video for “Mutual Core”:
I love Bjork, but I’m wondering if perhaps she shouldn’t just shut up for a while.
I got the opportunity to remix this song… not easy having had Bjork infiltrate the psyche for over 30 years… she’s her own breed.
Biophilia definitely requires a few extra chances….it seeps into you. Love it! The video for Mutual Core rocks!

I always seek solace in Homogenic, myself. But “It’s Not Up To You” and “Hidden Place” are gems that stand up with her best…
I love free speech, but I’m wondering if perhaps you shouldn’t just shut up for a while.
Vespertine is absolutely my favorite album from her. The arrangements, the instrumentation, the vocals, the ingenuity… it all combines perfectly to make a sonic masterpiece. Biophilia is good, but it didn’t click for me until I saw the live performance here in NY. The only album of hers that still hasn’t really fallen into place for me is the soundtrack to Drawing Restraint 9. That’s really just a bunch of discordant sounds and clicks.

What a perpetually fascinating artist she is.
You’re Totally right. Dewitt, the first few times I listened to it I wasn’t a huge fan. If you’re a fan of choral music you’ll enjoy it a lot. I call Biophilia her choral Mass of the universe to the universe.
