What’s your favorite track one on a debut album? I can’t think of a lot of songs that fit this category, but one from my teenage years sticks out, the unforgettable first note. Human Behaviour, the first track from Bjork’s debut album, Debut, still sticks in my head. That first note always reminds me of metal tumbling in a dryer! I loved her previous band, The Sugarcubes and then when she came out solo I was psyched. When I went to Iceland a few years ago, I got to visit the impressive Harpa Music Hall in Reykjavík where she’s performed and I could just imagine her there with it’s stark dramatic architecture. After all this time, Bjork is a powerhouse of new art and music.
