The newest Bjork album, Voltaic, is a collection of songs recorded live at Olympic Studios in London. The songs are direct-to-tape versions of various songs off of Medulla, Homegenic, and Post. Listening to the first song now, “Wanderlust”, it sounds like some pretty good material. I think the idea here is that Bjork creates music [...]

I was lucky enough to go and see her live on her farewell tour. I haven't been ...

(He also brought that amazing end-times feel to Volta 's "Dull Flame Of Desire .") This new track, written/produced by Björk, and which includes longstandin...
