Bjrk’s Utopian Follow-Up to ‘Vulnucira’ Will Soon Be Upon Us – Flavorwire

Bjrk shared an at once informative and not-so-informative post on Instagram this morning:

Over a year ago, actually, Bjrk announced that she was working on a utopian follow up to her last album,Vulnicura(which with both apocalyptic grandeur and granularity documented a breakup, and which the artist compared to hell). And, from the looks of it, that new album will soon be upon us; in fact, its already available to pre-order on her website though that doesnt mean the site provides any details about the content, or the title, or even the release date.

However, Bjrk recently did a soon-to-be-released interviewfor the cover story ofDazeds Autumn issue,that in part details the upcoming album and the magazine shared a preview of that feature today. The album, it notes, sees her collaborating once again with Arca, and she calls their work together the strongest musical bond [shes] ever had.

Bjrk also tells the magazine, This is like my Tinder albumIts about that search (for utopia) and about being in love. Spending time with a person you enjoy is when the dream becomes real. I, personally, want to hear a Scruff album from Bjrk but we cant have everything. Beyondwhat may or may not be poetized versions of swiping left set to sonic imaginings of the movements of tectonic plates, Bjrk also hints at a political drive for the album, a utopian dream to contrast the surge in right wing populism. She says, If were gonna survive the situation the world is in today, weve got to come up with a new plan. Especially now, this kind of dream is an emergency.
