Am currently putting my socks back on after having them knocked off by ‘Vulnicura Strings’ a “stripped back” version of her album from earlier this year. The same vocal takes, made more intimate and raw by their isolation but with added string arrangements and something called a Viola Organista that Di Vinci designed.

I have noticed the absence of the original album from the usual tedious “best of year” lists, maybe it’s release at the start of the year made reviewers who probably got copies early forget about Bjork (as Eminem once sang). I think it’s her most personal and nakedly emotional album to date and if you’re of a similar mind then I’d check this “acoustic” album out
