About this album
“I wanted to make it an honest record. Me, here, myself, at home. I asked myself if there is such a thing as Icelandic techno, and how it could sound. Well, in Iceland, everything revolves around nature, 24 hours a day. Earthquakes, snowstorms, rain, ice, volcanic eruptions, geysers… Very elementary and uncontrolable. But at the other hand, Iceland is incredibly modern; everything is hi-tech. The number of people owning a computer is as high as nowhere else in the world.
That contradiction is also on Homogenic. The electronic beats are the rhythm, the heartbeat. The violins create the old-fashioned atmosphere, the colouring. Homogenic is Iceland, my native country, my home.”
Homogenic is the third studio album by Icelandic singer-songwriter and musician Björk, released on 23 September 1997 by One Little Indian and Elektra Records. It was written in collaboration with producer Mark Bell of LFO. It has sold over 2.3 million copies worldwide.
Björk continually describes Homogenic as an extension of her personal feelings. In interviews, she called the album her “most me yet” and “emotionally confrontational.” Claiming that there are no surprises on Homogenic, Björk wanted to make a minimalist album with few tools: a string orchestra, vocals, and synthetic beats. She has revealed that the album’s name stems from the fact that all of the tracks are relatively similar and did not realise that “homogenic” is not actually an English word, referencing English as her second language.

This album is one of the closest things to musical perfection. Every song fits beautifully and is in its rightful place. There is no "weak" song on this album, as they are all equally incredible. I only wish I could have looked into this album earlier in my life. This is a completely timeless album, one which never ages or feels dated, and can appeal to just about anyone. This is perhaps Bjork's finest hour (this and Vespertine, another album which comes very close to musical perfection and is on equal footing with Homogenic).
