Recommended Posts

We will be getting a few live updates in the next few weeks for some new festival performances in the upcoming months. The Coachella was the first one to be announce, and only yesterday we had a performance confirmed in Switzerland.

■ 07.07.25 - Paleo Festival, Switzerland

■ 07.07.05 - Roskilde , DK

■ 07.07.01 - Open'er, PL

■ 07.06.28 - Rock Werchter , Belgium

■ 07.06.22 - Glastonbury, UK

■ 07.04.27 - Coachella, USA

In other news: we have a finished record: release date and name to be confirmed in the very near future.

Pare che il titolo sia Volta, in omaggio all'inventore della luce elettrica. Tra gli ospiti che si esibiranno nell'album insieme a Björk, Antony Hegerty (di Antony and The Johnsons). Sonorità tribali, parole improvvisate e tante altre stranezze, a cui ormai siamo abituati.

Data di uscita prevista, metà maggio.

We, as in madwebcarpenters of bjork.com, have waited for a fair bit of time like everyone else biting our tongue and now is the time to release this bit of information known as a press release. Things are getting very interesting as further details of the new album and more concerts to be announced. It is not going to be quiet anymore!

Volta is the name of the album and the date is May 7th. The Press release reads thus:

volta_first1.jpg

"Musical innovator Björk releases her next studio album ‘Volta’ on May 7th 2007.

‘Volta’ is Björk's sixth studio album and follows the release of ‘Medúlla’ in 2004.

Featuring ten brand new and original tracks ‘Volta’ is entirely written and produced by Björk.

In the role of producer Björk has brought in various other musicians to work on her songs and ‘Volta’ features some of her most interesting collaborations so far with Antony Hegarty (Antony And The Johnsons) singing on two tracks, and Timbaland (Jay-Z, Missy Elliot etc) working with Björk on beats that she created for three further songs.

Other artists that feature on ‘Volta’ include electronic pioneer Mark Bell of LFO and two unique drummers – Chris Corsano (the improvisational drummer who has worked with Sonic Youth amongst others) and Brian Chippendale from Lightening Bolt.

Björk also brought in two acclaimed African artists for ‘Volta’ - Toumani Diabate, the Malian kora player and Konono No1 the experimental band from The Congo who won a BBC World Music Award in 2006. She has also put together her own 10 piece female brass section of Icelandic musicians who play on three further tracks. Meanwhile Chinese pipa expert Min Xiao-Fen plays on one song."

So it read! And now we can start counting down: One, 2, three, four, 5, ...... etc

la copertina promette bene... :)

Spero proprio che non sia la copertina. E' orrenda, a mio parere.

In genere chi schiaffa un suo primo piano senza scritte... questo mi sa tanto di promo shoot.

beh sì, potrebbe essere un promo-shot

ma questo nuovo "travestimento" li batte tutti,

meglio del "cigno" di "verspertine"

A me Medulla è piaciuto non poco. C'è una cura delle voce di raro acume.

Sono tuttavia convinto che questo "Volta" sarà molto diverso.

Volta sarà un insieme di ritmi tribali e beat hip-hop. L'elemento di originalità è il gruppo di 10 ottoni.

Ho letto che la cover vuole essere un'esaltazione della femminilità... :huh:
