Breakups can bring about extraordinary experiences. Bjork's ninth studio album, Vulnicura, rises from the ruins of her relationship with contemporary artist Matthew Barney. With fractured beats, wavering strings, and emotionally honest lyrics, it stands as some of her finest work in a nearly 30 - year career. Here, her vulnerability takes the spotlight, and her love laments turn to pain. The album's sound is quintessentially Bjork's. Despite enlisting producers Arca (known for Kanye West's Yeezus, FKA twigs' LP1, and their own Xen) and The Haxan Cloak, the song arrangements and the way drum - bass loops blend with slow - moving string figures are uniquely hers. Vulnicura is a masterpiece, made even more powerful by its raw emotion. This is a limited deluxe edition, presented as a black double vinyl pressing. It comes in a gatefold jacket with printed inner sleeves and a semi - translucent outer slipcase. The music is released by One Little Indian in 2015 and was reviewed by Michu Meszaros in May 2015.
To enjoy this vinyl album, first, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently remove the vinyl from the sleeve, holding it by the edges to avoid fingerprints. Place it on the turntable and start playing. After use, carefully put the vinyl back into its sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. Keep the album in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. The gatefold jacket and slipcase are also fragile, so handle them with care to maintain their appearance.
