The Big Mates discuss studying, relaxing, chilling, and Post by Björk.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue their exploration of the career of Björk and their track-by-track analysis of her second studio album.

They explore the composition, tone, lyrics, meaning, and context for each song in turn - all from three differing perspectives, from being deeply into music and analysis, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between!

They also look at how the album was received at the time, how that legacy has been shaped over the intervening years, and the influence heard in today's pop music.

What will we make of Post? When does the second half start? Palette cleanser, though? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

Our next episode is out next week, Monday August 10th, and will see us watch some Post related media!

The Big Mates discuss chance, big band jazz, sampling, and Post by Björk.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue their exploration of the career of Björk and their track-by-track analysis of her second studio album.

They explore the composition, tone, lyrics, meaning, and context for each song in turn - all from three differing perspectives, from being deeply into music and analysis, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between!

They also look at how Björk collaborated on some lyrics, her wish to surprise listeners, and how she linked herself further to the Bristol trip-hop scene.

What surprises lie in wait for us? Will Steve get into electronic music? Can a kestrel play hip-hop? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

Our next episode is out next week, Monday Monday August 3rd, and will conclude our thoughts on Post!

The Big Mates discuss big batteries, envelopes, headphones , and Post by Björk.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas begin their dissection of her second solo album by looking at how Björk wrote and recorded the record, the changes in the team around her, and the thought behind the various styles found on the record.

They also find time to explore how Björk reacted to her new found fame and the musical landscape in 1995, before starting the track-by-track analysis of the album, exploring the composition, sound, lyrics, meaning, and context for each song in turn - all from three differing perspectives, from being deeply into music and analysis, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between!

How does Björk follow up her debut? When did the Spice Girls form? What albums would you describe as a chungus? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

Our next episode is out next week, Monday July 27th, and will continue the deep-dive into Björk's second album!
