The Sugarcubes were the biggest group ever to emerge from Iceland, which helps explain their off-kilter sense of melody. By the time the group recorded its second album, Thor had divorced Björk and married Magga Ornolfsdottir, who became the group's keyboardist after Einar Mellax left. Here Today, Tomorrow Next Week!, the Sugarcubes' second album, was released in 1989. Following its release, the Sugarcubes disbanded. In 1993, Björk launched a critically acclaimed and commercially successful solo career that was based in dance music. Stephen Thomas Erlewine.
