Premiere: Björk - Vulnicura Remix Project P. 1

Björk has always been very generous with commissioning remixes and re-imaginings of her tracks. Her Vulnicura album is no exception to the rule and now the Lotic remix gets joined by three more for the Part 1 of the album remix project. NICE! Mica Levi's instrumental take on Lionsong is our favourite of the bunch with its majestic and classical sound. Katie Gately twist and turns Family really putting a harsh light on things and the Krampfhaft take is a forest of electronic sounds. Too cool! Listen below; thoughts?

Free Download: Björk - Notget (ill-ēsha Edit/Remix)

We're truly transfixed by Björk's Vulnicura album era. It's so sad and beautiful and defiant and gorgeous all wrapped up with a black bow. The new word Notget alone makes us shiver with both joy and pain. The removal of the space between the words - amazing. Denver based producer ill-ēsha takes the original mix and drops her own beat on it in the space between a remix and a re-edit. It allows the sun to shine a bit on the darkness which is something we all need sometimes. We have the official remix from Lotic to turn to if we need some fragmented sorrow again. Enjoy below! 

I will not forget 
This notget
Will you not regret
Having love let go

Premiere: Björk - Notget (Lotic Remix)

It's crazy how you can go from missing someone in the best way possible to have the longing shift into severe pain. Björk's Vulnicura album is an odyssey into major heartache and devastation and has truly transfixed us. Thus it's more than fitting that the first official remix is a piercing treatment of Notget by Berlin based Lotic. (His name meaning flowing water, how extra perfect here.) It comes with sharp edges and makes for an uncomfortable listen. It's fragmented and direct, it makes us want to cry and the poetry of the lyrics paired with the slithering beat is really striking. The softer elements in the original are swept away with the sadness and the tide. Listen below! Thoughts?

We carry the same wound
But have different cures
Similar injuries 
But opposite remedies

I will not forget 
This notget
Will you not regret
Having love let go
