The Sugar Cubes - Life's Too Short

lifestoo.jpgBefore Björk was, ya know, Björk, the Icelandic princess was a Sugar Cube.  The trio, including Bragi and Siggi, were a main staple in the “alternative” sound of the late 80’s.

Björk’s voice was a little young at the time, but certainly showed the potential for her amazing vocal accomplishment’s of the last few years – especially at the beginning of Sick for Toys.

I love the songs when Bragi joins in on vocals, like Delicious Demon, Sick for Toys, and Blue-Eyed Pop.  Some other songs you might be familiar with on this one include Motorcrash and Birthday.  Also, F***ing in Rhythm & Sorrow is a lot of fun.

Essentially what you find on this disc is Björk singing for more of a “rock” band than on her solo work.  It’s a little more guitar heavy than anything she’s done on her own.  If you enjoy her solo work, this certainly something worth hunting down for a used CD.  Some releases include a few bonus tracks in Icelandic – WOO!

FYI, I love her, but not like that.
