{"product_id":"medulla","title":"Medulla","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith 2004's \u003ci\u003eMedulla\u003c\/i\u003e, Bjork's already distinctive musical vision is catapulted into another stratosphere. Using the mouth as the primary instrument - vocal, percussive, and otherwise - \u003ci\u003eMedulla\u003c\/i\u003e evokes the ethereal sound of an angelic spirit and a group of Benedictine monks desperately hurtling through outer space. \u003ci\u003ePleasure Is All Mine\u003c\/i\u003e immediately establishes \u003ci\u003eMedulla's\u003c\/i\u003e haunting, yet strangely comforting, tone. On top of a distorted background of carnal breathing, the vocals of Bjork, Inuit throat singer Tagaq, Mike Patton (Fantomas \/ Mr. Bungle), and the Icelandic Choir combine with the rhythms of human beat-box Rahzel, building to an eerily ferocious intensity. The album, which also features art-rock pioneer Robert Wyatt, shifts back and forth between ambitious, operatically layered tracks (\u003ci\u003eWhere Is the Line\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDesired Constellation\u003c\/i\u003e) and more direct a cappella songs (\u003ci\u003eShow Me Forgiveness\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eOll Birtan\u003c\/i\u003e). Bjork reaches her peak when she combines both of these seemingly disparate forces, as in the electrifying \u003ci\u003eWho Is It (Carry My Joy on the Left, Carry My Pain on the Right)\u003c\/i\u003e and the album-closer, \u003ci\u003eTriumph of a Heart. Medulla\u003c\/i\u003e proves that, once again, when it comes to sheer musical audacity, Bjork knows no boundaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2LP - Heavyweight Double LP with Download.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTape - Limited Purple Tape in Clear Case.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"One Little Independent Records","offers":[{"title":"Tape","offer_id":50410595615051,"sku":"1059910","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50410595942731,"sku":"389386","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2LP","offer_id":50410596467019,"sku":"364964","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/b2d86aa3-2f33-484f-840f-0f710b1132f6_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726645354","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/medulla","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
