About the album

To preface this, my hosting site is acting wonky, so I can't make any of the umlauts or miscellaneous Scandinavian letters for those of you who would call me out. =)

This EP came about because my cover of "Hyper-Ballad" was featured on bjorkremixes.com, and propelled by that, I leafed through the Bjork catalogue a little bit more to try and rework other songs. This was not only to satiate my recording withdrawal (considering I'm not planning to release another album until late 2010), but also to broaden my own stylistic horizons and to take on the challenge of re-imagining her work. These aren't necessarily my favorite Bjork songs; just the ones I decided to toy with since most of her music is perfect as is, and far be it from me to sully the magic of the original pieces! You may also notice I didn't do any pronoun changing (i.e. "his embrace"), because I felt I shouldn't have to change them. After all, they're not my lyrics, and anyone who is put off by it has missed the point entirely. Love is love, beauty is beauty. And if art isn't challenging, we don't really learn anything.

Also, I highly recommend listening to "Hidden Place" through headphones. At night.
