VESPERTINE

This is a beautifully intimate record. Björk found a way to depart from her success sound and embrace her unique aspects even more. Highlights of the album are the minimalistic nature and the suppressed but complicated though logically sounding beats

Hidden Place is a great atmospheric opener with subdued beath and stunning orchestration 10/10

Cocoon is an absolute masterpiece of minimalism and intimacy. 10/10

It's not up to you is another great song with all the strengths of the album showcased 10/10

Undo is also great, especially the female choir and strings 10/10

Pagan Poetry is another highlight, especially the "I love him" repeat near the end. So emotional. 10/10

Frosti is icy and unique. Another home run 10/10

Aurora has extraordinary beats and a great harp. 10/10

An echo a stain has awesome electronic beats and a great atmosphere too. It may be my love for acts like Autechre that I appreciate these beats so much. I am amazed by how Björk combines this with strings and other musical arrangements 10/10

Sun in my mouth is the next home run. This album is so strong, so cohesive and so beautiful 10/10

Heirloom is the most straightforward track of the album so far. As straightforward as it gets with Vespertine. 9/10

Harm of Will is again extremely intimate and harmonious. 10/10

Unison is an absolute banger of a closer for the album. 10/10

This album is a tour de force of a unique artist. There's only one rating fitting for this one. 5 stars.
