BJORK - HUNTER

Album : Voltaic.
Bjork's increased success and ballooning public profile circa Post required a supporting cast of a decidedly larger scale. With that expansión came a growing awareness as to how her work ethic and creative output directly affected the livelihoods of those around her. During the mid-'90s, Bjork tested her own limits rather than risk disappointing those around her, touring incessantly and exhibiting a creative burst.
With its savage lyrical conceits and suppressed twinges of doubt, "Hunter" speaks to the inherent pressure involved in having the fate of a small workforce hinge on your every action. That these realizations surfaced on Bjork's most sparsely promoted álbum was no coincidence.
As with the majority of Homogenic, Mark Bell proved a crucial conduit between Bjork's visión and the final outcome; his programming on "Hunter" echoed a suitably militaristic mode, in turn enhancing the song's sense of missión.
"I think that beat is very much a Mark Bell beat interpretation of her," offers engineer Markus Dravs. "The idea of it being a Boleric beat was hers, but we tried different versions and i think it was Mark in the end who came up with the idea of just doing it on a 9o9. Then we all had a go on the filtering and played around with the decay of each individual drum."
