READ: Interpreting Bjork (CD)
These interpretations of Bjork originals* were commissioned by HUSH in the summer of 2001(save The Decemberists' recasting of "Human Behavior") and indefinitely shelved soon thereafter. HUSH director and Blanket Music front man Chad Crouch made the executive decision to abandon the project when it was nearly completed, having lost enthusiasm not for the songs, but for the idea in general. Our intentions were earnest, but the calculation loomed large: would HUSH be compromising its identity by releasing an album that, on the surface at least, capitalizes on Bj?rk's star power? While many official Bj?rk remixes may sound dated with the passing of two years ( drum machine aesthetics evolving on par with the price of computer memory ), this collection retains a certain timelessness owing to the largely acoustic arrangements and solid vocal performances. Above all we hope that should you choose to adopt this into your collection, you find it nothing less than sincere.
