Kukl

<3 This week on Magic Portals we continue hearing from Bjork, but Bjork in 1980. The Eye is the debut studio album by the Icelandic post-punk band Kukl. It was released in September 1984 by Crass Records. The album peaked at No. 6 in the UK Independent Albums Chart. The Eye was recorded at Southern Studios in January 1984. It was produced by Crass member Penny Rimbaud and engineered by Tony Cook. The cover art was designed by Dada Nana. It was named after Björk’s favourite book, Story of the Eye by Georges Bataille (1928), an intense story about a young French couple involved in sexual perversions and violent behaviours. The album included “Dismembered”, a new version of the band’s first single, “Söngull” (1983), with most of the guitars replaced by pipes and bells. We also hear from songs off their second album Holidays In Europe.

Azealia Banks (born May 31, 1991) is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and actress. Raised in the Harlem neighbourhood of New York City, Banks began releasing music through Myspace in 2008, eventually being signed to XL Recordings at age 17. After releasing her debut single “212”, she secured a recording contract with Interscope and Polydor Records, and later released her first extended play 1991 (2012). Banks’ debut studio album, Broke with Expensive Taste, experienced several delays since its initial announcement before being released in 2014. In 2016, she released the mixtape Slay-Z. Her second studio album is Fantasea II: The Second Wave. Banks’ outspoken views and controversial social media presence have been the subject of media attention throughout her career… she rules!

House Tornado is an album by the alternative rock band Throwing Muses. Produced by Gary Smith and engineered by Paul Kolderie, it was recorded at Fort Apache Studios in Cambridge, MA. The album was released in 1988 internationally on the 4AD label, except in the United States, where it was released by Sire Records. Sire used a different album cover for its release, as the label was putting a strong promotional push behind the band, and label executives favoured a picture of the band over the collage featured on the 4AD release. <3
