Life's Too Good

It’s sometimes hard to recall now just how much of an impact The Sugarcubes debut single ‘Birthday’ made when it’s magical off-kilter melody first hit the airwaves via John Peel’s show in the later part of 1987 (taking the number one spot in his ‘Festive 50’ that year).

In particular the song’s extraordinary singer/ narrator, Björk Guðmundsdóttir was the subject of much wild speculation speculation in the UK music press. “Can she possibly be human?” wondered Melody Maker’s foaming Single of the Week review (repeated in NME). “A record of debilitating beauty,” it continued. “Nothing this year has had us more thoroughly vanquished.”
