Bleep

In celebration of Björk’s mid-career retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and just in time for the release of her excellent album Vulnicura, One Little Indian are treating her back catalogue with well-deserved vinyl reissues: this version of Björk’s second solo album Debut, originally released in 1993, comes in a special limited edition, coloured to the hue that personifies that album character, “shy beginner humility virgin virgin beige silver mohair the messenger”. With five tracks co-written by producer Nellee Hooper, Debut marked a departure from the rockier style of her previous work with The Sugarcubes, juxtaposing jazz percussion and saxophones with dreamy string arrangements, house beats and folk guitar – most importantly, it shaped her unique vocal style – which is still one of a kind today.
