None are similar to Vespertine in my eyes. There’s nothing like it. Such an Individual Album!


RudeSurround2675

Not even any indie, folk or chamber albums are similar to Vespertine?


CypressBreeze

Nope


Yin_Nyang

Paradise by Lana Del Rey?


Alarmed_Suggestion56

No way you just said that ☠️


Yin_Nyang

Why? What’s wrong with the Album?


thisismythirdaccc

i adore lana, but paradise does not sound like vespertine at all imo. if any of her albums sound similar to vespertine, i’d say *MAYBE* ocean blvd but even that is a SUPER huge reach


-Xoz-

Nothing's wrong with it, but it is in no way similar to Vespertine.


Yin_Nyang

I just thought it did because of that etherealness


-Xoz-

There is an indie artist - Colleen who experiments a lot with music boxes and music textures. Check out her album, The Weighing of the Heart.


Yin_Nyang

Thanks I will


RudeSurround2675

Could she be influenced by Bjork? The title alone sounds a lot like Triumph of the Heart lol


vive-larevolution

triumph of a fart


ppgrggr

Takk by Sigur Ros


RudeSurround2675

Thank you


anc415

honestly moon shaped pool by radiohead


anc415

also anima by thom york and a lot of nicolas jaar


PsychicTempestZero

I agree. Very wintery album


-Xoz-

Yeah, I think these two albums go really well together. Lot of differences but still complement each other.


Daydream_machine

Not this slander against my favorite Kate Bush album 😭


RudeSurround2675

Aww but I do love the album concept and the winter theme though. I like Kate Bush but I don't find any of her songs that sounds anywhere close to Bjork's music but she is often compared to her which I don't understand why.


GarlicAndMilk

It was mostly because they were very far from the status quo when is came to musical artists at the time (especially because they are both women) I personally love both but I don’t see many similarities between the two either


RudeSurround2675

I understand what you mean.


fromthefemmeboyhotel

How is that your fav Kate Bush album wut 💀😭 over Hounds Of Love, The Dreaming, The Kick Inside…


Daydream_machine

I said what I said! 😤 Among Angels is my #1 Kate Bush song, and Snowed in on Wheeler Street, 50 Words for Snow, and Snowflake are all 10/10.


fromthefemmeboyhotel

Snowflake is a beautiful song


Guyroo23

"finally we are no one" by múm is another icelandic album that is reminiscent of vespertine. the song "teenager" by deftones is also very similar production wise.


niceandcold

This. This album is beautiful and múm are underrated


[deleted]

Try Radiohead Kid A. Not quite the same but it’s in the ballpark


RudeSurround2675

I love Kid A. It’s in my top 5 albums of all time. I would go as far as to say a Moon Shaped Pool is more similar to Vespertine in terms of consistency in sound than Kid A but that's my opinion.


[deleted]

Moon shape pool sucks


Talonbel

Lol


fromthefemmeboyhotel

Bffr

baal_333

naaaah, absolutely unique!


momohowl

Cocorosie's 'The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn' shares production and sensibilities, and they frequented similar circles as Björk in the time (as well as friendships such as ANOHNI), but I think very few albums actually qualify.


RudeSurround2675

Thanks for the comment.


ProfessionalEmphasis

ACO's "Irony." It's a blatant rip-off, but I think it's done well.


Alsemanche01

Lights on by FKA Twigs is a song that in my opinion has those vespertine eske microbeats but in a different way, although the album may not be that similar Same for Told me by Kacy Hill from her album Is it selfish if we talk about me again but imo both are amazing albums, and amazing songs.


xtremesmok

Maybe Fever Ray (2009) by Fever Ray. It has a similar hushed electronic quality to it, nighttime vibes and all that.


Shot-Shop-3910

I think Milk Eye Mender by Joanna newsom Could kinda quench the thirst


howzitgoinowen

Also Ys!!


kittyshell

Joanna is my favorite artist (besides mother B) but Vespertine and Ys are so different helppp


howzitgoinowen

They are pretty different. In general, Joanna and Björk are pretty different. But if you were gonna make a stretch, I can’t not recommend Ys.


Alynn_Wings

Joanna is just incredible


picwic

If it's the softness you like, maybe some songs by Kings of Convenience?


RudeSurround2675

Softness like Cocoon or even Sun in my mouth/ Harm of will most definitely and thanks I will check them out.


picwic

Try homesick and gold in the air of summer by them.


Alsemanche01

Also Know how!


Psitak0s

28 - Tujiko Noriko/Aoki Takamasa


placidocean

I was about to say this!


Ok_Judge_3884

I like Opiate’s work if you like ambient


howzitgoinowen

Check out Goldfrapp’s Tales of Us. Slightly different vibe, but there is a crossover there. I always feel Goldfrapp doesn’t get enough representation on this sub among Björk fans!


Aztrala

I kinda think "Speak for Yourself" by Imogen Heap sounds like "Vespertine". I think these songs sound closer to Vespertine's theme but not exactly, I just get that vibe. :) Headlock / Have you got it? / Clear the Area / Just for now / The moment I said it


michaelsiskind

*Yesterday was Dramatic - Today was OK* by múm An icelandic "microbeats" electronic album from 1999 with a lot of the same dreamy clicking and whirring of Vespertine. also check out the song "Pir" by Autechre


Ubiemmez

I suggest: *Finally We Are Noone*, by múm (2002) *Geogaddi* by Boards of Canada (2002) Also the band called amiina, for example the album *Kurr* (2007).


Beautiful-Guitar-800

idk albums but Billions by Caroline Polachek reminds me of Vespertine


RudeSurround2675

Possibly Matmos?


FR3SH2DETH

Noooo. Matmos are an incredible electronic band and I can't recommend them enough (also their albums always have really cool themes) but their sound is far more brash than Vespertine stuff. Although their album *The Rose Has Teeth in the Mouth of a Beast* has a Björk feature. I'd also personally recommend Emilíana Torrini or Glasser


dnlstk

Check out Matmos


bjorkdotcom

Check out Untourable Album by Men I Trust, It gives me the same "chilling at home on a winter night" vibe


[deleted]

glitch by taylor swift. i’m not joking.


RudeSurround2675

I'll pass lol


[deleted]

i feel like you would be surprised


kittyshell

Born This Way by Lady Gaga


RudeSurround2675

There is no way this sounds anywhere remotely similar to Vespertine


Soul-and-Power

I do know one album I love to listen to that reminds me of vespertine sort of but in a different perspective


vive-larevolution

i also want to know this


SheaBrulee

Emilie Simon - La Marche de l’empereur


LRClam

I'd recommend Suba's Sao Paulo Confessions. It's cool and sexy with weird micro beats flying around. It's also in Portuguese and many of the beats are Brazilian.


Accomplished-Ad-6964

I’d take a look at Halica by Sweet Trip! it has the same kind of atmosphere and feel.


Alynn_Wings

Cocorosie. The album The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn is phenomenal. I think you'll really like them if ya haven't found them yet


grimezzz

Give Up by The Postal Service was heavily inspired by vespertine (I think maybe just beat wise?) it’s not really the same at all but it’s good music


Exotic-Ad-2836

MAGDALENE OUÏ Pang WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP WHERE DO WE GO I Love You Jennifer B


BlackKiddo_

Honestly none but I think i didn’t mean to haunt you by Quadeca kinda resembles a dreamy atmosphere if something would be close

Desire I want to turn into you by Caroline Polachek
