{"product_id":"bjork-biophilia-2lp","title":"Björk - Biophilia [2LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eBjörk's Biophilia set out to connect music with crystals, viruses, lightning and the moon, and somehow made all of it feel intimate. The album spreads across two LPs here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased in 2011, her seventh album was billed as the first app album, arriving with a suite of interactive apps that tied each song to a natural phenomenon and a musical idea. She composed parts of it on a tablet and shaped it during the Icelandic financial crisis, framing the whole project as an exploration of how nature, music and technology connect. It later grew into a series of educational workshops held on four continents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe instruments are half the story. \"Thunderbolt\" uses a Tesla coil as a sound source, crackling arpeggios and all, while \"Crystalline\", co-produced with the dubstep duo 16bit, rides a custom-built gameleste before erupting into a breakcore finale. \"Solstice\" is built around a harp played by swinging pendulums, mimicking the movement of the Earth, and \"Virus\" returns to the gameleste for a delicate, chiming love song with a biological twist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElsewhere the songs move at their own slow, cyclical pace, her voice hovering over sparse patterns with plenty of air around every note.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAway from the screens it was designed for, Biophilia reveals itself as a deeply human record about how small we are, and how connected.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67758042022178,"sku":"5016958141769","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/Bjork-Biophilia_2LP.jpg?v=1794295938","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/bjork-biophilia-2lp","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
