Sugarcubes' second album carried forward the quirky and esoteric music that made their first album so wonderful. An interesting blend of jangle, synth, new wave and post punk with a hint of ethnic folk... is all that even possible?
Having gotten on the Cubes bus a little late, after Stick Around and before It's It, I found it took several listens before I became accustomed to the sound. I still don't like the Fred Schneider-like screaming by who I assume is Einar. But, Bjork's vocals, while still young and wild, are really really awesome. She is really a talented, albeit eccentric artist.
I know I'm missing a couple of mixes on here, but I'm pretty sure I have all of the tracks and b-sides. I didn't want to throw on any of the demos, either. I preferred this sleeve to the original album art. The lettering is more classical and it has a very retro feel to it. All in all, it's a pretty sleeve...
