Homogenic: Björky McBjörkface

Björk is a genre unto herself and Homogenic one of her earliest masterpieces. Apparently Iceland has fertile ground for growing experimental acts in general and we take some time to dig into Sigur Ros and mum, two acts pushing and ignoring genre much like Björk. Is it worth trying to understand what Jonsi is singing? Does mum take us to the limit of how much post-rock doesn’t need to, ya know, rock? How many Icelandic bands does Matt know? Will Agaetis byrjun or Finally We Are No One stand as the Björkiest of them all?
