bjork
on Popjustice

The salient points


  • Bjork is Icelandic and dresses in a manner that doesn't exactly scream 'BHS', so will forever be referred to as "kooky".

  • She released her first album when she was 11 years old, before joining a punk band and then forming the Sugarcubes.

  • This was good.

  • In 1993 she released her proper debut album, er, 'Debut' and it was literally above average.

  • 'Post' was pretty amazing, as this song clearly shows.

  • Since then it's all gone a bit 'experimental' and 'tuneless', but there are still flashes of brilliance.
