La presse à propos du titre
Not so long ago, the government of Iceland gave Bjork her own island in recognition of her services to music – and the ethereal landscape seems to have affected her rather. This is ethereal.

Hidden Place’ is about love in a cold climate, about retreating from it all with a certain someone : “I’m simply so close / to calling you up / I’m simply suggesting / we go to that hidden place”. she purrs over gentle, sweeping, skittering electro. So fresh and so clean, the music is like a cool, sharp breath of fresh air. Spacious like empty, ice-blue Icelandic skies ; pretty like tiny, brightly colourful tundra flowers. A song, a wish to shut the door against the snow and the howl of the outside and to wrap up snugly together. A Venus and a boy in furs. Drifting into a private world whilst snowflakes melt on eyelashes. And, at last, freedom.
