Additional InformationDelivering earthy illustrations of the many kinds of love and how they're expressed, the singer/songwriter's tenth album is one of her most moving.
Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- "Her 10th, in her customary action-and-reaction style, burrows deep into dank earth, anchoring itself in family, homeland, and the body.", "Bass clarinet -- a first-time instrument for Björk, known for building albums from new instruments -- appears where you might expect higher-pitched orchestration. It sounds stern and miry...", Included in Paste Magazine's "The 50 Best Albums of 2022" -- "Modulated vocals sometimes substitute for percussion or bass, which can make for a disorienting listen.", "The sonic landscape is still huge -- awesome, as alien as it is familiar, full of otherworldly arrangements, tectonic beats, and craggy melodies that conjure the terrain of her native Iceland.", "There is joyful instrumentation, with woodwind fighting the brutalist techno percussion on ‘Fungal City’, soaring Hitchcockian melodrama with the strings of ‘Freefall’, and a return to the aggressive bass and turbulent clarinet of the title track.", "With her 10th album, Björk is grounded back on earth, searching for hope in death, mushrooms, and matriarchy, and finding it in bass clarinet and gabber beats."
