bjork was apparantly in a weird band as the singer before she went solo and released "debut" does anyone know what this band was called? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
the sugarcubes. it wasn't weird... pretty basic pop i think. but i've heard only a little. the only thing i liked about it was björk's voice... |

Eat your heart out: The history of Bjork is one of those oddities that only the diehard fans seem to know or care about. Her first album was actually something she put together as a child. It is a collection of Icelandic oddities that is simply entitled "Bjork". Bjork's spent her early years not in electronic music but in punk! In fact one of her first experiments was an all-girl band called "Spit and Snot". In regards to the noteworthy stuff she's done before going solo, her first somewhat successful bands were Tappi TÃkarrass and Kukl. Nobody really noticed Bjork and her unique voice outside of Iceland until she became lead singer for the Sugarcubes. After they broke up, she released one more album before Debut. It is called Gling-Glo. It is a bunch of jazz songs all sung in Icelandic except the last two tracks. If you're interested in any of her older stuff i recommend "The Great Crossover Potential" (A Sugarcubes collection) or "Life's Too Good" (The debut Sugarcubes album), and of course Gling-Glo. |

I love that song, I never play any other sugarcubes songs but I always play that one... |

sugarcubes were very popular at the time,they supported u2 on tour i think |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

there are a few others that i really love, almost as worthwhile to check out as birthday, but in general the sugar cubes are not my thing. i really like some of the kukl i heard. i've seen some live footage and that was one intense band. bjork said somewhere einar would choke himself on stage or something, total madness. |

gling-glo is very good i like it even more than debut |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gling-glo is so great 'cause the vocal style is so differnet from that of any of her other stuff, so you get to hear her doing things with her voice that you don't hear anywhere else. |

Bjork is awesome. I think she was one of the first to bring electronic music in an apropriate way to the mainstream recently (if you consider bjork popular music). Most everyone I know has heard of bjork even my grandma (she likes her vespertine album), and they think of her as an excellent musician. Most people dont think of her music as most closed minded people describe electronic music (beeps and bloops...). Usually when I introduce people to "IDM"ish music I tell them to buy something by bjork... it them makes them more open about other electonic music (like aphex twin, steve riech, autechre... whatever...) She has such a distinc voice... but a lot of power behind it... lots of range |
