Björk - Vespertine (2001) | Denver Record Club
Details
Join us at the Denver Record Club to listen to Björk's 2001 masterpiece, Vespertine!!
Widely considered to be one of the greatest albums of the 21st century, Vespertine is yet another pivot from the grand and bombastic sounds for which Björk was known in the 90s. She looked "inward" into the vast world of micro-beats and minimalist sounds that offer so much texture and depth to the listener. You'd be hard press to not find its DNA all over todays' pop music landscape. If you're coming back to this record, you already know and if this is your first time, you're in for a treat. Let's dive in!

Before you arrive:
Please listen to the album beforehand if you can. We will be listening to the album together, but the more time you spend with it, the more fun the conversation tends to be. The goal, put simply, is just to notice what you love and share it.
Otherwise, we will be gathering at HomeDog! Grab a few drinks, sit back, relax and enjoy the album together.
