The Big Mates discuss Goddesses, beauty, GoldenEye, and Debut by Björk.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue their exploration of the career of Björk and their track-by-track analysis of her first studio album.

They explore the composition, tone, 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!

They also look at how the writing of the album was inspired by Björk's feelings in an unfamiliar city, her integration into the club scene, and a potentially mythological recording technique...

How does the tone of the album keep changing? How is Lucas’ plant doing? How old are we? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

Our next episode is out next week, Monday Monday July 6th, and will conclude our thoughts on Debut!
