Björk — Selmasongs

By Hannah Guy (CHARTattack) September 19, 2000 10:30 am
I like to think of Björk as a sort of mad scientist of music. It's easy to imagine the elfish ex-Sugarcube creating her music by throwing all sorts of odd elements together in a beaker and shouting, "Stand back! She might blow!" Selmasongs is the accompanying soundtrack for Dancer In The Dark, the prize-winning movie at this year's...

Bjork's dressed up as a swan, but she's never appeared in a whale costume (at least to our knowledge). On record, though, some of the songs she makes could sound pretty... um... whale-ish. Dirty Projectors frontman Dave Longstreth has a similar obsession with weird vocal melodies and harmonies, so it's only fitting that Bjork and Dirty...
