Bjork - Roux (New Music 2008)

[voltaman33]

Yea Volta is fucking sweet with that brass sound.

[decaissement]

"Roux" was a fan title, the real title is "Softly"

[Gusty85]

the lyrics spells out Anarchism for me ;) Bjork still has got it in her ;)

[mikoca11]

when will this come out?

[RuedigaSocke]

perhaps never and perhaps tomorrow

[sigudsmotir]

Metal album?/ no way. she said guitar sucks!!

[japanesehams]

when did she ever say the guitar sucks?

[huckszil112233]

source : Dummy Magazine, 2007:

q: - Why do you rarely use guitars?

Björk: - They suck.

[japanesehams]

thanks. i kinda have to agree with her...

[toonmama6]

she did say that...but the statement has a story behind it.

she was working on her post i think.

She was loving dance music at the time

and wanted to explore that. But she has made acoustic songs..like " my heart been broken" that is all flamneco guitar

[doubled7]

omg! my beloved tori amos needs to realize this! I can't believe tori has gone to guitars when being forced to use guitars in her music was the reason she rebeled against the record companies. Now, actually maybe a little guitar won't hurt Bjork, like one or two songs, just for variety's sake. She's done stuff with acoustic guitars live before. Maybe a Sigur Ros colab?!

[tojupiterandback]

actually this is not a guitar, it's a kora, played by tounami diabate, though i have to admit that your comment is definetely hilarious

[fatkat90]

In a interview during the 90s she said.

"Im not Interested in rock bands....

Most likey bjork doesn't like guitars.

[epiksonik]

Guitars are the reason why pop music has become stale...people for the most part (exceptions being Radiohead etc.)aren't using it to explore sound, rather imitate ones that pushed this instrument into the mainstream consciousness. Musical artists have the right to call it out for what it is. Would a master =painter= use a crayons (cue every lame Train song) or something more consistent with technique and discovery?

[jaemoon2]

I have no problem with the song. I respect her creativity but I do miss the stronger beats from her earlier albums. I dare her to make a metal album!

[bleumenthal]

honestamente, son pocos los VERDADEROS ARTISTAS que tienen una continuidad valida... ella es de las pocas que lo ha tenido. Si se dan cuenta cada vez nos ofrece SIEMPRE algo diferente... obviamente, quizas mas de alguna vez no nos va a gustar lo que ella hace, por ejemplo yo, medulla... casi no me gustaba... ... pero la verdad... su musica es tan compleja... que es de hallarle un verdadero sentido... en fin. Yo sientoo que desde Debut hasta Volta... si ha habido un notable progreso!

[tacrit]

Dude, I don't care what others may say. Volta is a hell of an album. It has so much blood in it. The brass makes every song so fricking great. When I listen to Wanderlust, for example, I can't help but think I'm climbing Elbrus or something.

[FighterMoody]

Volta is a great album, her most mature to date I think, a big big improvement, a new chapter of her carrer....

[toonmama6]

i am ashamed of myself i consider myself a massive bjork fan, and i still dont have this album=(.

[mediorion777]

You're not missing much. Wait for the next one.

[sergiosanchesutube]

so so good!

[Solstrom2]

is this new upcoming music?

[luvmuzik03]

SO EXCITING!

[fflybz]

Sorry, but can Bjork go back to actually writing songs with actual rhythm? This stuff sounds like the mess you'd hear in a New Age store.

Her albums are getting worse and worse. Earth Intruders was awesome! The album, HORRIBLE.

Bjork's got to knock of the pretentiousness, and go back to recording industrial punk electronic pop!

This stuff is just boring, and each song is the same theme.

[RuedigaSocke]

sorry

that you don't feel it

but she is now better than ever

debut was genius but volta is better, much better!!

[FriendlyThing]

I think people don't like some new albums with new albums not because the album is "bad" but because it is not something they expected from a particular artist. as see it rather as frustration.

I think it is important that artists follow their heart in experimenting with music the way they feel and not just stick to a style, because they are "in" performing it.

[FriendlyThing]

oops i mistyped a few words in the beginning.. well, i think it's clear anyway ;)

[RuedigaSocke]

well said! ;)

[trn90]

Your so right

Volta is everything she has learned with the previous albums. You can hear Medulla in all the voice layers. Debut for it's down to earthness in some way. Post for the beautifull electronics, vespertines for the gentle beats that are behind the big ones and homogenic in the way she uses her voice.

Beautiful love this woman

can't wait for the new stuff!

[RuedigaSocke]

I think it's a naturally development!

:D

[meister333]

imo Debut>Volta ;P

[RuedigaSocke]

thsi really rocks!

I can't wait until this song is reeased anywhere, its so great

[Skunker101]

i'm amazed and excited!!!
