As you’re no doubt aware by now, Bjork is shortly to release her first studio album in four years, Biophilia.

Never someone to to do things by halves, this is not simply anot

her Bjork record, but comes complete with a whole host of remixes, applications and ideas. This will be released on October 10. And fe

atures a collaboration with David Attenborough. She has described the great man as ‘the pop star of my childhood.’

The tracklisting is as follows:

‘Moon’
‘Thunderbolt’

‘Crystalline’
‘Cosmogony’
‘Dark Matter’
‘Hollow’
‘Virus’
‘Sacrifice’
‘Mutual Core’
‘Solstice’

The first single is ‘Crystalline’ which has an aweso

me Michel Gondry video

Worth owning in their own right are the frankly astounding Omar Souleyman remixes. Not that

it’s not worth hearing the Matthew Herbert and Serban Ghenea remixes, but if you’re only going to buy one, make it the Omar Souleyman. (there’s a wee bit here over at the Guardian)

Th

ere’s also a piece on the album over here at Radio Four’s Front Row which you can listen to here and the Today programme here. (many thanks, Mum!)
