Vespertine is the fourth studio album by Icelandic recording artist Björk. It was released on 27 August 2001 in the United Kingdom by One Little Indian Records and in the United States by Elektra Entertainment. Production on the album began during the filming of Dancer in the Dark, which was characterized by conflict between the singer and director Lars von Trier

Björk’s Vespertine, released in August 2001, may be the first (and last) album written for the Napster age. With her fifth studio release, and coming off the expansive, futuristic Homogenic, Björk set out to make an intimate album of micro-beats and minimalist production. It was the kind of production that would lose none of its force when downloaded from the file-sharing sites flourishing at the time. Björk, Alone in the Dark: I use micro-beats, a lot of whispery vocals, which I think sound amazing when they’re downloaded because of the secrecy of the medium.

Vespertine was an autobiographical concept album about an episode of intimacy in the singer's life. Yet the team of Jan Dvořák, Peter Häublein, and Roman Vinuesa who adapted Björk's music for the Orchestra of Nationaltheater Mannheim faced serious challenges.

Vespertine is an album made by a character who’s very introvert. And it’s about the universe inside every person. This time around, I wanted to make sure that the scenery of the songs is not like a mountain or a city or outside, it’s inside, so it’s very internal. Vespertine was very influenced by my laptop, and about people being obsessed with Napster and saying it compromised sound and me thinking that was rubbish.

Talk about Björk - Vespertine


Thetath
Small and intimate, that is the atmosphere on Vespertine. The fourth official album by Björk is a fragile web of slow beats, harp, violin, cello, piano, and Her childlike, disarming voice. Björk in Cocoon is so close that you her breath next to you hear rustling. In it's Not Up To You she is again the little girl by Debut with hair elastics throat, toezingend and reassuring himself: ' it is not up to you what people give you '. Pagan Poetry moves, calling up memories to singer Liz Fraser of Cocteau Twins, with an almost desperate, screaming vocals. The instrumental Frosti is a klingelende game box, a melancholic sound and sets the tone for the next design Aurora, that sounds like a wonderful church hymn. Than Sun In My Mouth, a sensual story in which Björk a text from 1925 by the American poet E. E. Cummings sings, or actually tells. Painfully honest, vulnerable but strong, that's Vespertine. Björk appears to have reduced himself to a singer-songwriter with this-almost concept-album full of childlike glee of a girl skipping through the crackling snow, who stand with warm milk nestles by the fireplace, her play box opens and toezingt himself: ' I cowardly him, I cowardly him '.
