"When Post comes to an end, it feels like getting back from a good vacation: The last thing you want to do is re-enter the real world."
- Lorraine Ali, Rolling Stone
This week City Pages Music Editor Andrea Swensson (@gimme_noise) is our guest curator. Swensson chose Bjork's 1995 release Post. It was her third album, and it bounces from dance pop to trip-hop to big band. Bjork called it "musically promiscuous," and it includes production from Bjork, Graham Massey, Tricky, Howie B and Debut producer Nellee Hooper. For me, Post is one of those strong "time and place" records. Every time I hear "It's Oh So Quiet," my mind goes back to summer 1995, downtown Minneapolis, my first real job, and of course Spike Jonze's terrific slo-motion/real-time, big production number video. Zing! Boom! We'll see you on Twitter Tuesday at 9p Central. Start the album, listen, and tweet along with the hashtag #albumclub.
