Jan 20, 2015 Björk By Mike Hilleary

With her forthcoming album Vulnicura initially slated for release this coming March, Björk has responded to a recent leak of the record by making it available for immediate purchase today via iTunes. The follow-up to the Icelandic artist’s 2011’s multimedia project Biophilia, the new nine-track effort features production from Arca and The Haxan Cloak, as well as vocals from Antony and the Johnsons’ Antony Hegarty on the included track “Atom Dance.”

In a statement from Björk, “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.”

CD and vinyl copies of the Vulnicura are still expected be released in March.
