Released on the often-criticised but always interesting CRASS records, the first
K.U.K.L album is post-punk at heart, but it's
Björk, so it's experimental bat-shit crazy as well, and has a lot of genre-bending. Expect bells, flutes, pipes, guitars and drums, with vocals shared between her and
Einar Örn that range from a whisper to an anguished scream. It sounds like
PiL in places, and
Sugarcubes in others (both
Einar and
Björk were in the '
Cubes). If you like weird, and don't hate the outspoken Icelandic pixie, you might find something new in
The Eye.
