Details: Product DescriptionBjorkAmazon.caHeadline-grabbing personal upheavals turn into introspective surges onHomogenic, the third album by Icelandic singer Bjrk. Driven inward after a bizarre year accented by a much publicized mail bomb, airport cat fight and brawl between ex-lovers Tricky and Goldie, Bjrk gets lost in a wash of strings and minimalist techno patterns on her latest outing. The eccentricity and stylistic schizophrenia ofDebut andPost have been cast away in favor of darker, more sublime edginess. Filled with songs about paranoia, heartbreak, and lost faith,Homogenic not only showcases more mature themes, but a more uniform mood. Notch that up to Bjrk’s decision to produce the album herself. Aside from a few nominal collaborations with Mark Bell of obscure techno outfit LFO and the Icelandic String Octet, this is the purest representation of the artist’s vision. Little did we know that such a quirky personality would have such a bleak world view.Homogenic is almost too heavy to take in sitting, and songs, like the grating « Pluto, » are downright unlistenable. But there are moments of inspiration that burn through the dark clouds, particularly on the contemplative « Joga » and the uplifting « Bachelorette. »–Aidin Vaziri
