Vulnicura is Vespertine's dark twin. Where Vespertine is all about falling deeply and madly in love, Vulnicura is all about love's unraveling and undoing.
Considering that both albums are about the same person in Bjork's life.... truly devastating. I can't listen to Vulnicura because it's so intimate that I feel like i'm invading her emotions
What’s also interesting is that the entire album is chronological. She starts with the communication problems and the first cracks showing, then the final time they touch each other, then the break up, then the falling apart of her life etc etc
If I remember correctly she arranged the strings on Stonemilker all by herself, which is mindblowing to think about. What sets her apart is her endless uniqueness and creativity, but we often forget she's also an excellently proficient technical musician at that.
Anohni's an incredible artist as well, she released an album this year named "My Back Was a Bridge for You to Cross" which is absolutely incredible and devastating on its themes. She also released an experimental album around the time of Vulnicura, which is an outstanding one of the 2010s named "Hopelessness" with lyrics about our environmental collapse. You should check them out!
I'd also recommend the first Hercules and Love Affair album featuring Anohni. Very interesting and groovy. I think my favorite Anohni song is "Hope There's Someone". That song destroys me.
Thank YOU Dan for showing YOUR vulnerability! I’ve watched many reactions from you and seen you cry numerous times, and I just appreciate how freely you allow music to affect you and are completely unashamed to show us all your emotions. You’re a role model for vulnerability!
Top 5: 1- Stonemilker, nothing can compare 2- Mouth Mantra, love all the various sounds and how it progresses 3- Lionsong 4- History of Touches 5- Family, specifically the last 2 minutes are the most blissful musical experience I’ve ever had.
StoneMilker , History of Touches, Notget, Black Lake, Mouth Mantra. She started collaborating with Arca on this album and their unapologetic creativeness, mutual love of music and self expression helped them form a genuine friendship that seamlessly flows into Bjork's follow up project , UTOPIA (2017). 💜💜💜 Utopia is My personal favorite💜❤️💜 Which is the next step after A Breakup (Vulnicura) new sense of self discovery and What new adventures lie ahead, all the while, still processing the breakup & pain that's gotten you to this next phase in life.
Thank you so much for your sincerity, for allowing yourself to be vulnerable, emotional and to let people see the beautiful person you are. I truely hope you're receiving all the love you deserve in your private life. Peace!
HOW did you not cry on history of touches? Its been almost 9 years I hear this song and Im still cry everytime. Can you imagine having sex with a person knowing this is the last time? Its a nighmare However, this albun is composed in time, so, we have first song = 4 months before breakup, second song = 3 months before etc, and family its the breakup itself. Thats why theres the “space sound”, because its finally over. Then we go foward with her, one monte after break up, two months and so Its an incredível journey and hits very hard when is your heart that is broken
This album came out around the time of the breakup of my first long-term relationship, college graduation, and having to move back in with my parents. I'm so excited to see how you react to this showpiece of an album!
You know when Bjork makes a breakup album, it's going to be devastating. Black Lake is insane. I saw Bjork live on the Volta tour and she had the entire theater sobbing and holding each other. It was the best concert I've ever been to. There is no comparison. She was using the ReacTable Synth on that tour and it was so interesting to watch them use it live. The had the table projected on a huge screen.
Mouth Mantra, I want to remember Björk talking about how this song was about her issue she had with her singing chords, She underwent an operation which could have made her loose her singing abilities, she was not allowed to talk or sing for a while when this was going on.
You don't know Anohni? Listen to Antony and the Johnsons self titled album and I Am a Bird Now & Crying Light. The best chamber pop of the 2000s. Best non LP tracks I Fell In Love With a Dead Boy! Frankenstein (about sex change or dysmorphia) love
My favorite album of hers. You saw the perfect point of the strings on this album, hadn't thought of it that way before. There's a podcast on Spotify about the production of Vulnicura and Björk also has a podcast about each album. I recommend the Mouth Mantra remix with Haxan Cloack and the strings version of the album! 💚
I listened to this album to just find some great music, but this is one of the few albums that both resonate emotionally and sonically with me, truly beautiful.
I've been a Björk fan since Homogenic days; Vulnicura and Black Lake are my top album and song by her. For another fantastically devastating breakup album with incredible sound design by Arca, you really must listen to FKA twigs' Magdalene.
fun fact this album was produced by arca 😍 talking about arca i would love to see your reaction to kick iiii and iiiii since you reacted to the first three and maybe forgot to do the rest 😭
No, Arca worked on family and History of touches, that’s all. The album was almost finished when Björk invited her. That’s why she isn’t mentioned unlike in Utopia.
I know that u don't do film reaction but I think that I would be very interesting to have your perspective on drawing district 9! Especially After reacting this album
this album is cool. and as usual, you rock with your reactions. can i also suggest for you to react to THE RISE AND FALL OF A MIDWEST PRINCESS by Chappell Roan? I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOUR REACTION TO THIS ONE. Absolutely love your content. Peace
Your takes on some of the tracks are so spot on, you manage to notice stuff I have never noticed, despite having been familiar with this album for years and being a musician myself, chapeau! Anyway: 1 Quicksand 2 History of Touches 3 Stonemilker 4 Black Lake 5 Family
