Bjork doesn't really write songs anymore. You're not going to drive to work with "Hope" as your gas-foot. You're never going to remember the tune behind "Pneumonia" or "I See Who You Are," but splinters of their wistful timbre may stick anyway--the former's Bering Sea horn intro, on repeat as you floss your teeth 'cause it's so damn bedtime, or the latter's ether moodsway. Of course, there are fans of both Debut and Post who lost the song and have since given up on Bjork. And then there are fans of Homogenic and Vespertine who never got with Medulla's vocal playgrounding...For me, her best records (the last three) are the sort you only remember when you're still inside them--once they've gone quiet, it's hard to recall just why you felt so limp and vulnerable a moment before. She's melodic now like Alice Coltrane was melodic--laying down the distracted warmth of FEEL and then mining that supple headspace until she tires of it.
