homogenic

Her first two albums had hopped around sounds, trying things on and shrugging them off, but Homogenic settles into an epic orchestral feel that marries itself to skittering, aggressive beats.

After Homogenic came a softening, and Vespertine, dealing with love and desire, is Björk at her most beautiful.

The kimono exhibition will include box-office showpieces such as Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Star Wars robes, a dress designed by Alexander McQueen and worn by Björk on the cover of her album Homogenic and Oscar-winning costumes from Memoirs of a Geisha alongside rare 17th and 18th-century kimono.

The Björk selections, for example, are Vespertine, Homogenic, and Post, which I can get behind.

Yet, as extraordinary as those albums were, they still couldn’t match Bjork’s “Homogenic,” a superhuman blast of avant-pop that we’re still catching up to.
