Bjork Homogenic
b'
We begin our third collection of musings on queer musos with a deep dive into Andy\\u2019s second favourite of all time, Mother Bj\\xf6rk. Defiantly impossible to compare to pretty much any other artist, queers the world over have clasped Bjork to their alternative bosoms since her 1993 first album Debut, but what exactly is it about her body of work, visual language and legacy that appeals so directly to so many queer fans?
Drew and Andy take her commercial and critical peak, 1997\\u2019s Homogenic, as a starting point for a journey attempting to answer those questions, inevitably coming across many more along the way. Are the rewards worth the listening experience\\u2019s challenges? How much yarn can a drag queen unravel from her breasts? Why is there an Iceland supermarket in Iceland?
This episode\\u2019s companion playlist features all the songs we discuss, and serves as a nifty introduction to Bj\\xf6rk herself if that is what you seek.
