Björk's 'Vespertine' is the lush follow-up to 'Homogenic'. A stark contrast to her previous works, it is characterized by its delicate, ethereal soundscapes, infusing electronic beats with orchestral arrangements. Electronica duo Matmos provide production work and cult movie director Harmony Korine contributes the lyrics to one track. It delves into themes of love, intimacy, and solitude – which unfurl beautifully on standout tracks like "Hidden Place" and "Pagan Poetry". Vinyl LP pressing.
