S.O.D. "Army of Me" by Bjork

7/21/2015     From the third album of this Icelandic recording Dynamo is a song that critics review as dark, surging and daring with a combination of techno, driving bass sound and lyrics ("If you complain once more, you'll meet an army of me") that cast Bjork as a warrior Goddess rather than the previous pixie-like persona.  Like most of her work she had a hand in writing and producing and bases the song on her brother's damaging behavior, telling him to stand up, defend himself and regain control of his life.  Songwriter, musician, producer and remixer Graham Massey also helped with the writing and producing of most of the album.  

     Bjork has won many awards, and inspired many artists.  Music critics have described her as the most important and forward-looking musician of her generation and the best non-pop female vocalist in the past 30 years.  Her instrumental talent includes piano, keyboards, vocals, harp, flute, clarinet and harmonica.  This tune shows up on the movie soundtracks of "Tank Girl" with Lori Petty and the film "Sucker Punch." In the music video Bjork is driving maybe the biggest tanker truck in the world and has sharp metallic teeth.
