REVIEWS
Though Biophilia is hardly easy listening, even by Björk’s challenging, outlandish standards, there’s little doubting it’ll stand as one of the more rewarding albums of her storied career.
Biophilia is Björk, the sum total, and this album is her continued claim to the throne as the monarch of avant-pop.
There is a sense of individuality in its thematic concerns and in its use of specially constructed instruments, but in essence it feels like a synthesis of Björk’s work thus far (albeit a brilliant one).
Biophilia carves out brave new territory for an artist who’s been colonising the fringes of music all her career
She’s breaking new ground few others know is out there to begin with.
For an album ostensibly about the elements, there are some essential pieces missing here.
Despite some flaws in its execution, Biophilia does succeed in pushing beyond the already established album-singles-videos model
Listen: Bjork - "Virus"
