Description

the official video for the gate from björk's new album utopia. creative directors: björk, james merry, andrew thomas huang & alessandro michele.

The Gate" is a song by Björk from her tenth studio album, Utopia. It was released as the lead single from the album.

Björk is the only studio album by Icelandic singer Björk Guðmundsdóttir as a child singer, released on 18 December 1977 by Fálkinn. In 1976, Björk appeared on Icelandic radio singing "I Love to Love" through the music school she attended, which led her to a record deal and the release, with the help of stepfather Sævar, of her first solo album in 1977.

In the interview, Björk explains that The Gate is essentially a love song, but I say ‘love’ in a more transcendent way. Vulnicura was about a very personal loss, and I think this new album is about a love that’s even greater. It’s about rediscovering love – but in a spiritual way, for lack of a better word. The currently untitled album was recorded in 2016 and co-produced with Arca, with Texas producer Rabit producing one track on the album

One of Björk's most underrated tracks. The Gate is a spectatular opening to Bjork's new album entitled "Utopia". While seemingly underwhelming on the first listen, the song itself is made up of lyrics that affirm Bjork's love for her partner, transcending the typical love song with woodwinds and Arca's instrumentals, introducing us to her anticipated album due in November.

Features Song Lyrics for Björk's the gate album. Björk - the gate Album Lyrics. Björk Lyrics provided by SongLyrics.

No: The Gate is perhaps the Björkiest thing that’s ever Björked: synths flutter, discordant harmonies weave in and out, and Björk sings about splattered light beams into prisms while twirling her Rs. It’s like overhearing two nymphs having a flute-off in a wood full of horny ghosts. Moaning Lisa Smile was one of the best singles of 2014 – not an opinion, a fact, so be quiet – and then the My Love Is Cool album came out, and it was fine, and now this is out, and it’s fine as well. It sounds like Slowdive. It does the loud-quiet thing.

Björk wrote and recorded her album during the global political upheaval in 2016, something that led her to an exploration of utopia. Maybe that’s why it became a utopian theme," she said. If we’re gonna survive not only my personal drama but also the sort of situation the world is in today, we’ve got to come up with a new plan, she says. If we don’t have the dream, we’re just not gonna change. Especially now, this kind of dream is an emergency. The new album is co-produced with Arca while Texas-based producer Rabit worked on one song.

The Icelandic songstress is back with a light fluffy persona and a brand new song called The Gate. Her new album Utopia is scheduled to be released in November. Am I excited? You bet I am. Björk is one of the most innovative and artistic singers around and has been fusing the lines of abstract art and music since before I was born

This is a beautiful single to have on vinyl, up there with Bjork's best (Bjork has written many songs hitting perfection now). The vinyl is crystal clear in production.I think I am going to buy another copy for when I wear this one out.

which sound mix is this version? the album version or the pre-release?

Thanks JP - I didn't know that. The press coverage lead me to believe the single was exactly the same as it appears on the album apart from the added bit at the end.

pre-release (single) version but it is a bit different than the digital release and promo CDr for that matter: the very first musical phrase is done with flutes only. the vocals have been removed. The song then continues like the single version without bird song until the very end where there is a 54 second flute outro that may or may not be part of the song. It has never been confirmed.

So.. "very limited" is a 10,000 copies release? Really? http://www.factmag.com/2017/09/05/bjork-releases-new-single-gate-limited-edition-12%E2%80%B3-vinyl/

Any opinion about the acoustic result of this pressing? How does it sound? Thanks.

Crystal clear sound. Bass range is not as deep one would expect, at least not as deep as on the vinyl pressing of Vulnicura (I don't have the digital version of The Gate, so I don't know if it's a deliberate mix choice).One thing that is very impressive is that there is almost no surface noise at all. It's the first time I've been listening to a vinyl record that has such a low level of noise.Very good pressing in my opinion.
