Read

The Profile

A collective of artists operating under the name Read, known for the compilation album 'Interpreting Bjork', a semi-acoustic reinterpretation of Björk songs.

DeBaser reviewed 'Interpreting Bjork' (review by vonhesse, published 2006-02-10).

A DeBaser review evaluates Read's 'Interpreting Bjork' as an interesting but uneven collection of semi-acoustic Björk covers. Arrangements range from acoustic pop and bossa nova to trip-hop, funk and jazz-fusion, producing striking moments and puzzling mismatches. The reviewer praises several reinterpretations but criticises the album's fragmentation and lack of coherence.
