███▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ - RELEASE NOTES - ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀███
█░ ░█
█░ "These interpretations of Bjork originals* were commissioned ░█
█░ by HUSH in the summer of 2001(save The Decemberists' recasting of ░█
█░ "Human Behavior", which is more recent) 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. Tribute albums, a relatively modern ░█
█░ invention, are suspect releases for a record label, often co- ░█
█░ opting and commodifying the tributee's fame under a veneer of ░█
█░ homage. 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 Björk's star ░█
█░ power? ░█
█░ ░█
█░ Nine of the songs briefly surfaced on the internet in the winter ░█
█░ of 2002 and rode on an amazing, worldwide tide of enthusiastic ░█
█░ word-of-mouth. At this time Folkcore, a progressive young imprint ░█
█░ of P-Vine (licensors of several Matador Records offerings), ░█
█░ contacted HUSH, expressing an interest in releasing the collection ░█
█░ in Japan, despite never being issued domestically. HUSH happily ░█
█░ handed over the tracks -- spiffed up with an original portrait ░█
█░ painting and design by Crouch -- satisfied that Japan would be an ░█
█░ excellent test market, in keeping with The Playstation II and other ░█
█░ cultural phenoms. They get it first, because they get it first, ░█
█░ perhaps. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ While many official Bjork 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 time- ░█
█░ lessness 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." ░█
█░ ░█
█░ *"It's Oh So Quiet" written by Hans Lang, Bert Reisfeld, Erich Meder ░█
█░ ░█
█░ With the notes above from Mush Records (which seem a bit late, ░█
█░ as this is the US version), Chromance brings you the long-awaited ░█
█░ Bjork tribute album by "indie giants". Oddly, the over-all feeling ░█
█░ is a bit torch-singer-ish (at least in the beginning). Exemplary ░█
█░ track: The Roots of Orchis - no real vocals, just two records for ░█
█░ "possibly" and "maybe" - I think it's witty. Ben Gibbard's second ░█
█░ Bjork cover is nice, but I dig All Is Full Of Love more. And most ░█
█░ vocalists don't do Bjork justice, but it is a tribute album, not ░█
█░ a cover band. Enjoy, from Chromance. ░█
