Björk - Vulnicura Strings (LP)

Add to Cart

One of the strongest albums of 2015 thus far, Bjork's vastly acclaimed Vulnicura has been widely hailed as her best work in a decade, housing some of her most bold and starkly emotional music to date. Now, this remarkable record has been reinterpreted in this new string edition, featuring new violin solos by Una Sveinbjarnardóttir.

Describing the new release, Bjork says "€œwhile I was working on vulnicura , it became one of the most magical things both musically and spiritually to unite the electronics and the acoustic instruments in an almost romantic way: to prove they can coexist! that positive tango was a proactive counterpoint to the lyrics of the album: the end of a union. Onion. Tears. A lot. Lol. But while working on it I felt somehow for the first time, this was an album that could take another version: a reveal, to simply have the acoustics stand on their own for the folks who wanna indulge even further into the wooden timeless side of this music. W/ no techno.

"So here it is: I dug out the more close up pick up miked versions, other sonic points-of-view, added some violin solos by the gorgeous Una Sveinbjarnardóttir and the talented Sławomir Zubrzycki played masterfully the viola organista (an instrument invented by Leonardo Da Vinci but only recently built for the first time. It is little bit like a grand piano which is bowed, not plucked ). I hope you like this version too!"
