Reviews

Positively bursting at the seams with information and fresh insight, Emily Mackay’s ‘Homogenic’ is perhaps the pick of the bunch [of all 33 1/3s in 2017], a continually entertaining reading of one of Björk’s most vital, enduring albums ... As Björk primers go, this is certainly one of the best.
*CLASH*

A scholarly but thoroughly readable analysis ... Strongest of all are the in-depth dissections of Homogenic's heady blend of patriotism and cosmopolitanism, the traditional and tech savvy, nature and technology.
