This collaboration between Bjork and Dirty Projectors is best described as weirdly awesome. There is very minimal instrumentations, as this album focuses on the idea of vocals as instruments, singing nonsense sounds under the beautiful voices of Bjork and Dirty Projectors’ Dave Longstreth, Amber Coffman, Angel Deradoorian and Haley Dekle. No FCCs. Recommended: 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, but really anything.
1. 2:09: Spooky chanting: “aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah” repeated a bunch.
2*. 2:01: sing-songy. Singing + drums. Some sing-talking.
3*. 3:08: main vocals = male, with female singing of random sounds (ehhh ohhhh etc.) under. The female voices are the only “instruments.” Sweet love song.
4*. 2:16: very cool harmonies
5. 2:48: soft background singing, but anguished main vocals.
6*. 4:14: male vocals again. Sometimes sounds soul-like. Calmness interspersed with higher-energy moments.
7*. 4:44: rather dark, but pretty. More instrumentals than their other songs.
