Homogenic

Björk wanted Homogenic to sound like Iceland: “rough volcanoes with soft moss growing all over it.”

She began it in London. In September 1996 a fan in Florida posted her a bomb and then killed himself; police intercepted the parcel, and she moved the sessions to a studio in southern Spain. Mark Bell made the beats. The Icelandic String Octet played arrangements by Eumir Deodato.
