Björk Vulnicura (Yellow Vinyl)

4 stars out of 5 -- "VULNICURA is a unified set of nine dark, swarming, melodically distended songs....This may be the most heart-rending music she's ever made."
"[W]hat a welcome surprise that VULNICURA, her ninth album, is not just her most focused work in more than a decade, but her first in a while aimed more at the heart than the head."
"[A] devastating chronicle of the demise of her marriage..."
"Bleak and cold, spacious and smothering, VULNICURA has a tactile shroud that you can almost touch..."
"Masterful string arrangements by Bj”rk express matters of the heart with the same candour as the words, while Venezuelan producer Arca's fractured, difficult beats -- often in uncommon time signatures -- reflect the disruption to Bj”rk's real-life rhythm."
Paste (magazine) - "Complexity and metaphors reign on VULNICURA. The stark, dueling musical styles invoke a rare intricacy and intimacy that seem to represent her mixed emotions of fear, anger, depression and sadness."
Clash (Magazine) - "Her voice is hers alone -- and it shall always remain so, unequivocally unique."
