Vespertine, released in August of 2001 is an album by Icelandic singer/songwriter/musician Björk. This album saw Björk creating an introverted and quiet world of swirling microbeats and dreamy, personal lyrical themes. On the cover she can be seen wearing the swan dress that caused such a stir at the 2001 Academy Awards.
