During the course of a career spanning a remarkable four decades, Bjork has risen to prominence as one of the most singular and thrilling voices we have – her work as a songwriter, singer, and producer is endlessly provocative and fiercely artistic, mixing the elemental with the synthesized, the personal with the political. Her songs often feel as if they were born from some other landscape – that she is simply reporting back from places the rest of us can’t access.Bjork famously released her debut solo album at the age of 12, and spent much of her teenage years recording with a series of audacious art-punk bands. In the mid-80s, she found commercial success as the lead singer and co-founder of the alternative rock group, The Sugarcubes, and in 1993, she released the first of many solo records to come, Debut.What followed from there is a discography so rich and varied, it was given its own retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in 2015. In November 2017, she released her stunning ninth album, Utopia.In conversation with Bjork is longtime Pitchfork contributor Amanda Petrusich. She began writing for Pitchfork for nearly 15 years ago, and is now a staff writer at the New Yorker, as well as the author of three books about music, including, most recently, Do Not Sell At Any Price: The Wild, Obsessive Hunt for the World’s Rarest 78 RPM Records.” She is a commissioning editor for Bloomsbury's 33 1/3 series, a 2015 Guggenheim Fellow, and a professor of writing at New York University.
