Drawing Restraint 9 is Björk's ambitious soundtrack to Matthew Barney's 2005 experimental film of the same name, marking her second venture into film composition following Selmasongs. The album showcases a richly textured and deeply atmospheric sonic world, drawing on unconventional instrumentation including throat singers and chimes to create a sound that is both ancient and otherworldly.
More expansive and abstract than her acclaimed album Medúlla, the record occupies a similarly challenging and rewarding space in Björk's catalog. Her vocal contributions are used with striking intentionality — soothing and layered in quieter moments, then raw and commanding when the music surges into more turbulent territory — making this a compelling and immersive listening experience for fans of her most adventurous work.
