Post (Pt. 1)

The Big Mates discuss big batteries, envelopes, headphones , and Post by Björk. Adam, Steve, and Lucas begin their dissection of her second solo album by looking at how Björk wrote and recorded the record, the changes in the team around her, and the thought behind the various styles found on the record.They also find time to explore how Björk reacted to her new found fame and the musical landscape in 1995, before starting the track-by-track analysis of the album, exploring the composition, sound, lyrics, meaning, and context for each song in turn - all from three differing perspectives, from being deeply into music and analysis, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between!How does Björk follow up her debut? When did the Spice Girls form? What albums would you describe as a chungus?
