• Review: Noel Gallagher, Cantankerous Oasis Refugee, Still Has Tunes to Burn

• Review: Björk Paints Fractured 'Utopia' With Cutting-Edge Co-Producers

  27-11-2017 22:59 via rollingstone.com
  "Two music nerds obsessing … sending each other mp3s" sings Björk euphorically over harp arpeggios, while multi-tracked Björks chirp cherubically in the background. The track, a very Björkian reverie titled "Blissing Me," sets the tone for a record that's in some ways a polar opposite to 2015's incandescently brooding Vulnicura. That LP was a surgical examination of post-breakup grief framed by lush strings. Utopia mostly sends the orchestra packing, building its bright-lit

  The year leading up to the release of the Magical Mystery Tour album in November 1967 was turbulent but fantastically fertile for the Beatles – they were working on its songs more or less simultaneously with the ones that ended up on Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and the Yellow Submarine soundtrack.
