virus- bjork (hudson hohawke peaches & guacamole remix)


bjork. anyone who's everyone knows the name. "the crazy girl with a massive voice." as someone described her the other day. me being me i had to fight that argument with this song. possibly the most beautiful mix i have heard this year. her voice always seems to send shivers through my body. her imagination is one to admire and is heard not only in her style of music but her incredibly memorable lyrics. along with hudson mohawke (an absolute favourite of mine) peaches and guacamole, this song not only takes the listener higher than the clouds but lets you fully feel, experience and wander upon the stars. her haunting vocals, the beautiful piano almost sounding like you are dancing between the stars and the belting horns creating a lump in any listeners throat make this song legendary. to sum up her new album 'biophilla' she says; "for me the project is a continuation of volta and whereas volta is more about anthropology, this is kind of without humans and both zooming out like the planets but also zooming in into the atoms and in that way aesthetically sympathising with sound and how sound moves and physics of sound and how notes in a room behave, how they bounce off walls and between objects and its kind of more similar to how planets and microscopic things work." it is hard to explain or even understand how thoroughly bjork thinks into her music. she doesn't just think of what instruments and sounds go well together like most musicians, she feels and completely expresses her thoughts through the music we are lucky enough to hear.
