  • Broward/Palm Beach Björk - New Times Broward-Palm Beach 3/16/12 2:44 PM
    Broward/Palm Beach Björk - New Times Broward-Palm Beach 3/16/12 2:44 PM Björk Vespertine (Elektra) By Jessica Parker published: September 27, 2001 By all accounts Björk's albums should be commercial disasters. Her lyrics make little sense to the outside world, and she's known to invite listeners into the depths of her mind. (She also doesn't care one bit about the repercussions of dressing like a swan, but that's beside the point.) On the contrary her art sells, allowing her freedom to be even weirder and more experimental. Fortunately Björk offsets all her introspection and questionable fashion sense with great production, funky electronics, and killer melodies, a balancing act she continues on her latest album, Vespertine. Following up Selmasongs -- last year's accompaniment to Dancer in the Dark, the film in which Björk made her acting debut -- Vespertine is Björk's most gorgeous, tender album, a sensuous, warm peek into her diary with ornate, enchanting instrumentation. And like Selmasongs, Vespertine is cinematic in approach with its army of strings and dramatic choral section. Björk seems to work much like frequent collaborator Thom Yorke of Radiohead, making soundtracks for dreams and personal epiphanies, and the results are often intensely intimate, haunting emotional crescendos. "Heirloom" recounts a recurrent dream wherein she swallows "little glowing lights my mother and son baked for me," as the deep bass reinforces the surreal nature of the dream. In contrast the stock bossa nova drum programming renders the song almost poppy. And "It's Not Up to You" recalls the lighter side of her first solo effort, Debut, showing that Björk hasn't abandoned her own form.

  • MTO 16.3: Takehana, Review of the Social And
    Volume 16, Number 3, August 2010 Copyright © 2010 Society for Music Theory Review of Nicola Dibben, Björk (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2009) Elise O. Takehana KEYWORDS: Nicola Dibben, Björk, Iceland, nationalism, globalism, technology, nature, popular music Received November 2009 [1] Björk Guðmundsdóttir’s works have consistently posed a challenge to pop and art music as well as to those critics who have explored her music. The broad diversity of her approach to media and genre has made her oeuvre particularly enigmatic. Nicola Dibben premises this key trait of Björk’s work, calling her a whole artist who “communicates her ideas through the integrated use of all media at her disposal” ( Dibben 2009 , 23). To uphold such an interpretation of Björk’s work and artistic position, Dibben veers from many previous texts on the pop artist that presuppose a chronological biography as its organizing structure. Instead she adopts a thematic approach to all her artistic projects regardless of genre or release date. She investigates Björk’s critical reception, dividing the book into themes surrounding many of the basic binaries the artist bridges, particularly her understanding of pop/avant-garde, nationalism/globalism, and nature/technology. By providing a concerted and accessible analysis of the artist’s music, Dibben adds a formalist dimension to past critiques of Björk’s work. Dibben’s book provides an in-depth academic treatment of the artist as both a cultural and musical figure of great importance. Björk offers an intriguing case study of the artist and adds to a continued conversation about the role of music in the face of digital utopianism and globalization that will assuredly be a standard for any subsequent study on Björk.

    Sziget 2009: Une sélection très subjective… Par JFB le lun 10/08/2009 - 12:32 10 août Tankcsapda (lire l'article ci-dessus) 11 août Soirée RAR (Rock Against Racism) alias biZARE (Zene a Rasszizmus Ellen) En 1976, après certaines déclarations provocatrices de David Bowie et Eric Clapton, le mouvement RAR est créé et organise un premier concert pour lutter contre la montée du racisme en Grande Bretagne. Bien que ceux-ci se soient excusés par la suite, le mouvement a continué à défendre des valeurs de tolérance et de compréhension mutuelle par l’organisation de concerts et festivals, auxquels public et artistes (The Clash, The Buzzcocks, etc.) ont afflué. Relancé en 2002 par une série de concerts “Love Music Hate Racism”, le mouvement RAR a rencontré le soutien des artistes Damon Albarn, Kaiser Chiefs, Asian Dub Foundation. Que cette première journée rayonne sur tout le festival ! 12 août Nouvelle Vague 16:30 - Grande Scène Le projet de Nouvelle Vague est de réarranger de façon personnelle les plus grands titres post punk du début des années 1980 qui sont très rarement repris car jamais vraiment considérés comme de vraies chansons. Puis par la suite les titres sont réarrangés en suivant une autre idée: les sonorités des caraïbes entre 1940 et 1970, soit le ska/rocksteady, le reggae, le calypso, la salsa cubaine, le vaudou haitien, etc. D'où des arrangements et orchestrations très colorées, beaucoup de percussions, des guitares acoustiques et des voix féminines, mais aussi un chanteur, de l'accordéon, du steel drum etc. Nouvelle Vague reprend les titres de grands groupes emblématiques comme Bauhaus ou Siouxsie, aussi bien que des pépites oubliées.
