BJÖRK: Winter in August?

Björk released “Vespertine” 24 years ago today, on August 27, 2001. Did you already know these 5 facts?
★ “Verspertine” means “in the evening” in German.
★ For Björk, however, it felt like a winter album. It proves to be particularly experimental, uncompromising but also introverted.
★ According to Björk, the lead single “Hidden Place” is about how two people can create a paradise by uniting. It is a kind of emotional location that is based on reciprocity and is unbreakable.
★ The song landed at number 1 in the British indie charts and in Spain.
★ “Vespertine” itself stormed the top 10 in numerous countries. In Denmark, France, Iceland, Norway and the USA, it reached the top with first place.
