INFLUENCES:

IMHO: Björk's imagination is so beyond this world that I have a hard time catching up, and sometimes I need to take a break and get back to her later. Aside from her capabilities without boundaries as a visual artist, I do enjoy very much some of her albums, specially if I listen to them with my good headphones full blast, so I can grasp all the sounds and textures: "All Neon Like" would be my favorite song to do that.

FAVORITE SONGS: "Birthday", "Hit", "Venus As A Boy", "Violently Happy", "Play Dead", "Big Time Sensuality", "Isobel", "Unravel", "Bachelorette", "All Neon Like", "All Is Full of Love", "Jóga", "Pagan Song"...
FAVORITE ALBUMS: "Debut", "Homogenic"
