Unexpected Music!

Last night we arrived home from Lager Rhythms rehearsal to find an unexpected surprise in the mailbox.  [livejournal.com profile] follybard had sent us a Bjork CD (Post).  I've been listening to it here at work and...wow!  This is really good in a totally surprising way.  I had never actually listened to any Bjork, although I knew that several of my friends really liked her music.  I didn't expect there to be such a wide range of expression and style.  Cool!

Thanks, [livejournal.com profile] follybard!!!

Yay! I'm glad you're enjoying it!

I love all her albums. They vary stylistically from one to the next -- Debut is somewhat dance-oriented, Post is a bit pop, Homogenic is string-oriented, and so forth -- but they've all got an intricacy that rewards repeated listenings, I think. The arrangements are frequently really interesting, and her vocal delivery just blows me away, still.

(Plus, her songs are really, really fun to sing in the car.)

Do not listen to Screamin' Einar. That is all.
