'Elsewhere, [Björk's] drums become more martial, finally befitting her preference for the more intense side of electronic music. Yet there’s little cushioning below that percussive roaring. Partly, this comes from her abandonment of bass. In the aforementioned Ray Gun interview, she talks of challenging herself by removing basslines: “When you’ve got a bassline, everything else falls asleep, like creativity.” The absence of bass helps give the album its otherworldly aesthetic: an old sound suddenly made fresh by having its core taken out.'
Published alongside her retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, I wrote about Björk's underappreciated skills as a producer for Red Bull Music Academy (RBMA) Daily.
