Kukl
By writing this I hereby invite all mockery of my ignorance. Just go ahead, I deserve it. I had no idea that Björk was in a semi gothic/post punk band called “Kukl”. I knew about Tappi Tikarrass and Sugarcubes so I thought I knew everything. I stumbled over their debut album a couple of days ago and I felt like I had found some ancient relic in my backyard. “The Eye” was released in 1984 and sounds like a scream from the wilderness mixed with The Cure and Siouxsie And the Banshees. My favourite is “Dismembered”, a really excellents song with Cocteau Twins-type melodrama.
Björks voice is enough to make you stop and listen, right. I suppose her voice alone could make any crappy song enjoyable, she’s certainly proved that a few times (THE ANCHOR SONG!1).
