The Official Björk Thread

[Deep snow]

i LOVE Björk! i have her Greatest Hits album and i love it to death! my favorite pieces are

All is Full of Love
Hidden Place
It's Oh So Quiet (truly a MASTERPIECE, he magnum opus so far)
Oceania
Hyperballad (Definitely a diamond in the rough! i wonder why her songs are underrated)
Army of Me
Joga

and one thing, sometimes i just don't understand her, or what's in her mind, her music and videos are mostly.... bizarre. but still, that interests me even more, the one album i don't understand AT ALL is the Drawing Restraint 9 Album, i mean it says Björk is the artist, but there hardly any Björk singing in it! it's just soooo weird

anyway, i haven't heard her new material with Timbaland (though the album Volta has been around for quite some time), i'm really looking forward to hearing the song, anyone have it? *cough* can-you-upload? *cough*

go Björk and Björk-lovers!

We can't upload her newest album because it was released in the US.

BTW, did I hear correct and the "dialogue" was:

B: "Hello!"
X: "Hello... HEY. WHAT YOU."

?

I like Bjrok! She's cool! and I love her latest album Volta!

Bjork may just be releasing a second album this year. On the heels of May's "Volta," the Icelandic singer posted a note on her Web site confirming that she recorded "a special live session album" with her current touring band "a few weeks ago" at Olympic Studios in London.

A Bjork spokesperson says "we don't really have more details at this point," but all indications are the album will be out before the end of the year.

Bjork tells Billboard.com that the group -- which includes LFO electronics wizard Mark Bell and Lightning Bolt drummer Brian Chippendale, as well as a 10-piece, all-female brass section from Iceland -- did some session-style recording in April in California. "Already we have come a long way," she says. "I still feel we have potential to grow even more."

Bjork says that large band, which plays tomorrow (Sept. 8) at the Virgin Festival in Toronto, gives her a tremendous amount of flexibility. "I started with arranging my old stuff to brass," she explains, "seeing what of it would work. A lot of the songs that were previously done with strings turned out even better with brass. Having a keyboardist means I can do songs with harpsichord, clavichord, celeste and voice only -- the more lyrical side of my songs.

"But having two guys on electronics and one drummer means that I can go as macho as it is possible for me (and) do the hooligan songs," she continues. "The brass helps out, with that obviously being quite 'butch,' but also makes it easy for me to do musically complex numbers. So overall the importance is on dynamism -- really, really quiet songs and really, really loud ones."

Bjork has dates booked into December for what she calls "the longest tour I have done" -- including a stop at the Austin City Limits Music Festival in Texas, Madison Square Garden in New York City and the TIM Festival in Brazil. She says she plans to be on the road a total of 18 months, which will take her deep into 2008.

yes it did! it is excellent when you watch the making of wanderlust pv @ youtube... tons of hard work and computer arts

[XFER]

I think the video for "Wanderlust" is ok, but with that kind of animation, I was expecting something much more exciting. It's an ok video for the only great song on "Volta"".
