As with almost all major acts of today, which are widely announced in advance, and Björk's album was leaked. Umdisponierend is therefore digitally already at the start, and also physically you have brought forward several weeks to mid-March. How many leaks probably still need to change and make the major hype generation and advertising Drum stir after publication, not before? A procedure that about Queens of the Stone Age anwandten at their last Kracher, an album with snippets vague but not appointed concretely to announce and then publish straight without hesitation, always seems to be more appropriate, the larger the Act.
Now we have so a few weeks to be prepared for the media that this is Björk's large separation Album. The celebrities in the world of art related to the present multimedia artist Matthew Barney is no longer their daughter now a celebrity child of divorce. The cover is emblazoned an enormous, certainly deliberately vulvar similarly held, wound over the entire upper body; the title: a fantasy word from the Latin vulnus (wound) and curare (heal). So far, so arty.
The fact that this is by far the selbsttherapeutischste and quite well selbstgefälligste approach for a Björk album, surprised the art conception Björk shear ontology but otherwise knew no bounds. Think of the predecessor Biophilia, strong in substance, but annoying with multimedia bells and whistles and pseudo-interactivity, because it wanted to make groundbreaking for the smartphone and iTunes users. And indeed: for Björk's relationships that did incredibly often produce irritating beauty with their music (contrary to their so dissonant vocals), the entry into Vulnicura is reasonably tough and unempathisch. Since howls to keep out anyone.
Better and it is accessible to the second half. Here you can feel the beat and Electro-heavy mind by the producers using the Electro-avant-gardists The Haxan Cloak and Arca. Last traded a hotter name in pop, the already screwed on Kanye West songs and FKA twigs produced second EP. Here, layers beats, whirring strings sharp left, right past the head and carries instrumentation injured and lost moods of Björk emotionally. Most beautiful moment is not the first time a guest appearance Antony Hegartys, the collaboration Monster par excellence, he has not finished with his guest presence, while his solo albums are more specifically which board? - As he vocally as breaks in the middle of the post-dubstep-sugar Atom Dance, and sovereign goosebumps makes. One would be the entire ninth studio album Björk desired on the heights of the finals, but the Björk is not a request concert.
