Rankine full stop

Following on from the recent Associates post, here's a Bjork-approved insight into the making of Sulk, from the mouths of Alan Rankine and Mike Dempsey, as told to the incomparable Alexis Petridis.

thanks for this, irk. very interesting article and really well written (of course. it's the guardian.) i particularly like what bjork has to say about billy mackenzie:

"The Associates went there. They didn't edit their nature out of it. They had pagan qualities. I read a book about Billy MacKenzie, and it said that all the lyrics were composed in the moment, not written down, like a stream of consciousness. For Medulla, I thought about using Billy MacKenzie's voice, and his father sent me old multitracks, the original tapes, and I wanted to work on it, celebrating voices, maybe do a duet with him. But when it came to it, I was too sacred."
