'Ancestress' the weakest of the three singles thus far imo.
More atonal clarinets pls.

actually just remembered what your taste is like, you not liking it is a strong sign that it sounds more like what I've wanted her to sound like so that's exciting. I'm guessing it's melodic then?

'I'm guessing it's melodic then'
It is like a UTOPIA track but with more "traditional" chamber instrumentation. Almost like...VULNICURA meets UTOPIA (?) Very busy, very layered, but somehow still lacking 'oomph', which is precisely how I felt about at least half of UTOPIA. I see people saying it gives of VESPERTINE vibes but I'm not getting that at all aside from people hearing bells and spouting off a knee-jerk comparison.
It's definitely good, and I definitely still prefer it to much of UTOPIA, but 'Atopos' and 'Ovule' had me reared with a level of full-album hype that would be most likely be impossible to sate. This track tempers things a bit, levels my expectations, probably a good thing tbh.

Because it yokes tangible references from things I know you've heard. In Bjork's case, not much else sounds like Bjork aside from other Bjork, so she often gets reflexive comparisons.

I actually wasn’t even referring to you, Dewi, no worries. Bunch of self-proclaimed arbiters of genre over at RYM are tossing that comparison around all willy-nilly.

Prefer the first two singles (Atopos, Ovule) to the second set (Ancestress, Fossora) but seems like I'm on an island there. Still very promising overall, has me thinking it'll wind up above UTOPIA and BIOPHILIA for me, maybe around VOLTA but not sure if it'll beat MEDULLA.

How are people thinking this will beat biophilia? Weren't the singles on that moon, crystalline, and mutual core? Come on lmao
