Björk Releases New album ‘Vulnicura’ Two Months Early

Icelandic singer Björk has unveiled her new album 'Vulnicura,' worldwide over the course of the next 24 hours via One Little Indian, two months before scheduled release.

In a note on her Facebook page, the eccentric Icelandic musician said: 

dear websitefolks , fans , tweeters and my music supporters on all the sorts of www :
vulnicura will be rolling out worldwide over the next 24 hours !! 
i am so grateful you are still interested in my work !!
i appreciate every little bit !!!
i wanted to tell you the tale of making of this album
i guess i found in my lap one year into writing it a complete heartbreak album . kinda surprised how thoroughly i had documented this in pretty much accurate emotional chronology .... like 3 songs before a break up and three after . so the anthropologist in me sneaked in and i decided to share them as such . first i was worried it would be too self indulgent but then i felt it might make it even more universal . and hopefully the songs could be a help , a crutch to others and prove how biological this process is : the wound and the healing of the wound . psychologically and physically . it has a stubborn clock attached to it .

there is a way out and then a magic thing happened to me : as i lost one thing something else entered . alejandro contacted me late summer 2013 and was interested in working with me . it was perfect timing . to make beats to the songs would have taken me 3 years ( like on vespertine ) but this enchanted arca would visit me repeatedly and only few months later we had a whole album !!! it is one of the most enjoyable collaboration i have had !

i then went ahead and wrote string and choir arrangements and recorded them in iceland
towards the end of the album i started looking around for a mixing engineer and was introduced by a mutual friend of ours , robin carolan to the haxan cloak . he mixed the album and also made a beat for one half of "family" . together with chris elms the engineer we kinda formed a band during the mixing process and this is the album we made !!!
i do hope you enjoy it

Get the album here.

Björk To Release Remix Album 'bastards' This November

Björk has announced that she'll be releasing a remix album on November 19th through One Little Indian.

The album, entitled 'bastards', will feature some of the remixes featured in her remix series from earlier in the year and will be available on 12" vinyl, as well as CD and digital download. 

"I felt it important to gather together the essence of the remixes, so I picked a quarter of them for one cd for people who are perhaps not too sassy downloaders or don’t have the time or energy to partake in the hunter-gathering rituals of the internet" said Björk of bastards.

"I was incredibly impressed by how the core of the mixes took Biophilia somewhere else while still keeping its character, and like they so often do when at their best: the remixes gave the songs more beats; legs to dance on! I spent some time editing together not necessarily the best ones but the ones that made the strongest whole."

Check the tracklisting for bastards below.

1. Crystalline (Omar Souleyman Remix)
2. Virus (Hudson Mohawke 'Peaches and Guacamork' Rework)
3. Sacrifice (Death Grips Remix)
4. Sacrifice ((Matthew Herbert's Pins And Needles Mix) edit)
5. Mutual Core (These New Puritans Remix featuring Soloman Is. Song)
