i'm not really thrilled about the timbaland collab. he's too mainstream for her iconoclasm,no? but i'll reserver my judgement till i hear it though. nevertheless,the other collabs sound great. antony from antony and the johnson's.

Unfortunately, I cannot find the name of the designer... since the only credit I can find is for Warren de Preez and Nick Thornton Jones.

Also, this just in: Bjork discusses Timbaland collaboration

And her primary website with tons of photographs and information (maybe you can find the designer there?

Sugarcubes - Hit
Sugarcubes reunion gig in Reykjavík (November 17, 2006)


So amazing! I couldn't go but my friend was there and she said it was one of the best experiences in her life.

 

[Scott]

thanks liberty bell. i'm thinking that it might be an unknown icelandic designer since it's not so distinctive of anybody i'd know of.

Scott, the artist is Hrafnhildur Arnardóttir You can see she also created the hair pieces for Medülla

the cover looks like crap.

yeah the colour palette's different, more intense than her usual album covers. i don't like it with the black at all
and it looks kind of ethnic-inspired, which i was hoping would not happen since she always does kind of futuristic or not-related-to-this-world, very new fashion and album covers...

 

[Salvatore]

Oh my God! So excited for her new album. I am her biggest biggest fan! She transports me to different levels. She's extremely so real! I am so interested to see what she and Timbaland have come up with! I must go see her! !

 

[Diorette]

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned before in the thread but on her new album there's a duet with Antony.

Can't wait to hear this song. Two of my fav artists singing together.

 

[chaneladdict]

I'm soooo excited for this She is my favorite. It is definitely one of my goals in life to see her live.

Diorette, the album leaked about 2 weeks ago now.. you should look it up and tell us what you think..

I wouldn't know where to look it up.

Guess I'll have to wait...

 

[Beautiful Stranger]

I like that cover..

My current Bjørk-fav is "all is full of love"

 

[MulletProof]

diorette, I havent found it myself either.. though I haven't done a good search, I know it was up on oink?, but the file expired before i noticed.
anyway, here's a preview.. the 4 songs last less than 20 seconds but it's worth hearing.. i guess.

Are you guys talking about music samples from Volta?
There is a Bjork community on Livejournal--there have been a few recent posts about it

I was wondering if the music is really going to be like this i mean there is no vocals ...lol

 

[Salvatore]

Ah thanks for these links! Karma!
What I hear so far sounds interesting! Maybe these are instrumental tracks?

 

[Salvatore]

I found this at Youtube. It is the radio edit of Earth Intruders! I am addicted to this!
