Atlantic Records drafting up that list about how Charli can go viral before Brat came out:
We must have different ideas about what summer is.

Despite the icy cover, I recall that Bj herself thinks of Homogenic as a summer album because she recorded it in the Spanish heat.
I always forget about this, Homogenic is easily one of the most "winter" albums I've ever heard, in terms of sound!I was about to say... not only did she record it in the Spanish heat, she recorded it in the Andalusian heat, which is a completely different beast. And it somehow comes through for me as a local. There's this stifling energy to it.
I think for me, it's a combination of always having listened to the album knowing where she recorded it, me being from the same place, and those fat beats and synths doing the rest of the synaesthetic work. Vespertine feels wintery for sure though, but Homogenic has this... oppressive, kind of nagging quality to it for me, and that's exactly what an Andalusian summer feels like. We are literally going through a scorching heat wave as we speak (half-past midnight and it's 30 degrees Celsius ddd), which is making me want to play it.I always forget about this, Homogenic is easily one of the most "winter" albums I've ever heard, in terms of sound!
Also I had natural negative feel towards listening to some later stuff but you guys made me want to listen to Fossora
'Fossora' is one of her better albums of recent years. Also, 'Utopia' has grown on me a lot. I enjoy those two much more than Vulnicura (often too depressing and drawn out) or Biophilia (too sporadic in it's ideas and lacking melody in places).
The atmosphere of Vulnicura is like holidaying on Europa
I very much sympathize with the very human joy, pain and various feelings that are slipping through the cracks of your post.I've still not listened to Vulnicura. Told myself I'd do it when I didn't feel so emotionally fragile. It's officially in a mental list of mine which also features A Little Life, trying shrooms, and several big name gay movies from the past few years.
But Utopia, now that's a great album for getting drunk in your childhood home's bathroom. "I caaaare for you, caaaare for you. *vaguely floral sounds*" BOP!
