EPISODE #73

Björk is uniquely both a pop star and avant-garde composer. Though her music often challenges our ears, underneath her records you’ll find more in common with today’s pop music than you’d expect. Pieced together, you’ll hear that she paints emotional landscapes composed of all the complexities of human experience. We give you a way to enjoy listening to her music. Using this hybrid pop/modernist method, we deconstruct her latest album Utopia. Plus Nate & Charlie fall in love all over again.
