DEEP DISCOG DIVE: Björk

[@MicTheSnare]

Three quick notes: 1. The next DDD will be picked by you! The poll is in the description. If you want a say in who gets covered next time, go check it out. 2. Also check out the playlist in the description - it has all the songs I play or mention in the video. 3. As some of you might know, this is a redo of my 2nd DDD ever! The old one is in the description as well if you want to watch it, but this one replaces it in every way. Thanks for watching!

[@dedrick7949]

Could you add GY!BE to the decision list?

[@kayfimt7769]

Could you add Insane Clown Posse, Ru Paul and Trapt to the poll please?

[@firegodmc1080]

I see Nirvana on the list but not Foo Fighters, if you ever did a dive for them would it be combined so one half is Nirvana, then the second is Foo? Or would they be entirely independent of one another? I think both stories are worth telling and I'd hate to see them lessened due to time constraints.

[@aliciabergman1252]

Was sad not to see Robyn and hope she can be added for next time❤ she is such an interesting artist who has made such a big journey from her childstar origin and her music has made a big impact. There is a great vid more on her story here on YT for anyone that’s interested.

I always felt that the first four albums were like the four seasons. Debut is light innocent fun like a stroll through flowery woods, thinking about the promises of the future, on a fresh day of spring. Post is hot, intense and saturated like a hot summer day at the beach. Homogenic is introverted and meditative like when you see the leaves turning brown and feel the autumn wind announcing the coming winter. And Vespertine feels, as mentioned in the video, icy and restricted like being inside during a blizzard.

[@soin74]

love this idea! though Homogenic seems like a particularly turbulent and icy Autumn ;)

[@JoshuaFagan]

I appreciate how willing she is to reinvent herself as an artist even into her 50s. There's such a specific, imaginative vision and framework to each album, and I deeply respect that.

[@thornyback]

Björk is one of the few artists to have no bad albums, including soundtracks. Thank you Mr The Snare for revisiting this icon, we salute you 😀

[@dumb-angel]

her 1977 album isn’t great tbh

[@jon.callaghan4165]

@dumb angel that's true, but I'm not counting that because 1. She was a child, so obviously it's not on the same level and 2. It was before Björk became BJÖRK

[@dumb-angel]

@@jon.callaghan4165 it’s an album recorded and released by the artist bjork. pretty simple

[@jon.callaghan4165]

It's the same as the lana del rey argument, she had albums that were under her real name and other stage names but do we count them in the Lana Del Rey canon? No, we don't, I'd apply the same logic to Björk's 1977 album, it was before she was a true artist and musician with creative intentions, that's why I don't count it

[@Benheartsart]

@@jon.callaghan4165 I agree with this, it was released when she was 12. Her first kind of mainline album is Gling Gló when she was 25, but judging by the title, “Debut” is what she considers her debut album.

Björk is a true singular talent with an immaculate discography. I might not love everything she's put out but I always respect her artistic vision even when it's not my cup of tea. She's a force of nature that marches to the beat of her own drum.

[@pepsiapo5614]

Björk and Arca have such good chemistry when producing together it’s insane

[@ernie39]

so true!

[@florallychaotic]

Vespertine will always be my favorite Björk album for two reasons. Firstly, it's darkly romantic sound. But also, it was my "early teen emo album" haha. Even ten years after it came out, tween me was listening to this in my room crying over mean girls. Björk showed me that music could be weird and an extension of the body. It was the first time I felt like I was listening to music for grown ups. Not in the way that the 2000s club music of my youth had made me feel like "this is about sex I think" but in a way that really hit me as "I do not know enough about the world to understand this". And most importantly, that felt okay. So often I would get mad at being considered too young for something or not understanding something (especially since I was undiagnosed as autistic at the time). Vespertine made it okay to not fully understand it, because it wasn't meant to be fully compressible to everyone at all times. And it didn't think itself better for being so

[@curly_wyn]

I agree, it’s her best. Homogenic is her second best.

[@lhvy5066]

I think bjork does something special to autistic people's brains cause I was also undiagnosed autistic at the time I started to get obsessed with her and her music tickled a special place in my brain, I legit think it made me more "music smart" it made me recognize every little sound bjork puts in her compositions, she's a genius no doubt

[@serpentine9069]

wow this was beautifully said. i gotta listen to it

[@handsomemahlambi]

I think Beyoncé being on a vocal album makes perfect sense bc she can do so many things with her voice, Beyoncé’s voice is an instrument, Björk might have stacked them to create some sort of string sounding feel and tell her to try new things and Beyoncé is all about learning and trying new things so that’s not really a big surprise The surprise would be Justin Timberlake

[@whatzittooya8976]

Beyoncé collaborating with Björk would be one of the most random, weirdest yet surprisingly pleasant collaborations that I have ever seen and would 100% warmly welcome with open arms lol

[@falconeshield]

Never quite forgiven the Grammy for snubbing Kesha after all the abuse she suffered...for a guy who rudely admitted to have sleep through the award ceremony at home.

[@DBEO23]

Plus, considering it’s been rumored that it was “ancestors” was the song Beyoncé would’ve been featured on, it would make so much sense to mix Bjorks Icelandic singing, Tonya Tagaqs Inuit Throating Singing and Beyoncé’s Soulful R&B voice together and be a beautiful mix of three separate singing styles, influenced by three different cultures respectively

[@marthson4235]

There was one time I was hanging out with my dad. I don’t remember what we were talking about exactly but I felt like he brought up Björk randomly and talked about what a horrible artist she is. I had heard some good things about her so either my dad was right or wrong about her and I was pretty sure he was wrong so I decided to check her out. She completely blew me away and that’s how I learned that I could never trust my dad again.

Weirdly similar case on my end. In high school, I was the guy into the really werid, artsy stuff and my parents policy was “We’re not gonna ask questions we don’t want to know the answers to.

Thank you for this video! It's such a great way to revisit Björk's music. When I was growing up, my mum owned a Homogenic CD, and both the cover of that album and the general sound of her music have been positively seared into my brain. Fun fact for anyone that's curious: as of me writing this comment, Björk has released a collaboration with Rosalía, a little song called "Oral". I'd say it's Björk at her björkiest, it's so dreamy, and flows absolutely beautifully. Definitely worth a listen if you like her music.

i'm usually not a big music video person, but bjork has always used them as an opportunity to explore what her music can be and i think that's worth highlighting as well. she and the directors she works with always have extraordinary vision. the pagan poetry music is one of the most terrifyingly intimate things i've ever seen, and, more recently, ancestress explored death in a way that left me breathless. she knows how to communicate through multiple mediums and isn't afraid of marrying them together.

[@hardcoremagicalgirl]

I'm surprised you don't mention the initmate (but very platonic, don't get me wrong) relationship Arca and Bjork have which lead to Utopia. They met towards the end of Vulnicura's recording and became incredibly close. They hit it off so well Utopia was made because they enjoyed working together and wanted to make something more joyful together. The two women even went on vacation together collecting the bird song used in the album (other samples were collected from Oiseaux du Vénézuéla by Jean C. Roché which uses bird song from Venezuela, Arca's home country) There's so much to cover about Utopia but Bjork and Arca's relationship is at the heart of Utopia. Together they show this in the opener's music video "Arisen My Senses" where they are interconnected organisms, baring witness to each other's artistic growth and honoring each other.

[@claudiasemini1067]

Dearest Björk, you are one of the people I look up to the most and I would be thrilled thinking that you may read this email to you from me. I've been listening to you since the nineties and since then you're always looking for a new sound; you're the hunter: you're going hunting of music 'cause it is not a product but a process and each lyrics that you write are a collection of emotional peaks, like a storytelling of your (and my) life. I think also that you are ART in everything you do because you have been translating from music to what can be represented in images across your stage costumes or your videography and dj set; so I guess that you've been commissioned ("ordained") by music to convey emotions to human race. I say it as a hopefully meaningful compliment, which I hope you accept. Gratitudes back to you, Björk. warmth and endless respect. Claudia from ITALY

i didnt really get into bjork until 2015, but i was aware of her music. my grandpa got direct tv when it first dropped in 1995 and that was my only link to the outside world. grant it, i was still a kid but man, having satellite tv was a whole new world. i think bjorks songs human behavior, venus as boy and possibly maybe were the first ive heard. then the rest followed. i was really into mtv. vh1, cartoon network as a kid. i remember when mtv or vh1 would have hours long blocks of just music videos into the night and early morning. i was a night owl, i;d stay up all night, much to my grandparents and moms dismay. for some reason i thought bjork was a japanese woman with a german name. the first time i ever seen the pagan poetry video was late at night, part of mtvs banned videos show. even though they blurred out bjorks itty bittys. the first time i watched "all is full of love" was in computer class at school, back when quicktime video player was a buffering nightmare. one fine day in 2015, i just thought "i should listen to some more bjork" from then on there, i was hooked. all in all, bjork was always there, i just never realized how beautiful, awesome and emotional her music was. my top fav albums are homogenic, vespertine, utopia and vulnicura. everything else is great too.

i first started listening to bjork when she released biophilia, i was 13 and had never heard anything like it before. it completely changed the trajectory of my music taste. i know its not considered her best work but it altered my brain chemistry forever so i have no choice but to stan ❤

Really appreciate this DDD. Björk is an incredible artist, and Vespertine is, without a doubt, my favorite album of all time. I’ve made it about halfway through her discography so far, but I am looking forward to digesting Volta-Fossora.

This man specifically dug for the cover art of Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars at 33:08 just to prove his Mushroom Man point. I applaud you, good sir.

Can you please do a deep discog dive on Elton John or Bruce Springsteen

So I’m in a coffee shop doing some work and I got the notification for this DDD and screamed “YES!” Waaaaaay too loud.

Telegram was my way into loving Bjork's music. I still think it is one of her best. The very best for me though is Utopia, an absolute masterpiece through wich I became familiar with Arca.
