Excerpt

Björk is the subject of the cover story in Billboard magazine's Fall Preview edition, detailing the "24 most-anticipated releases" of the season. Björk discusses her latest project, Biophilia, and its many facets: the studio album, the app, the live show, and the forthcoming Michel Gondry-directed video. "At the center of it all," says Billboard, "is Björk, whose cavernous, emotionally stirring follow-up to 2007's Volta is her most immediate album since 2001's Vespertine."

Björk is the subject of the cover story in the July 30 issue of Billboard magazine, its Fall Preview edition, pictured at left, detailing the "24 most-anticipated releases" of the season. Björk talks with Billboard's Jason Lipshutz about her latest project, Biophilia, and its many facets: the studio album, now available for pre-order in five different formats via the Nonesuch Store; an app, available on the iTunes Store (as are the first two album singles, "Cosmogony" and "Crystalline"); a live show, which recently premiered in the UK and will be brought to Iceland this fall; and much more. In a separate article, Lipshutz talks with Michel Gondry, who shares a few details of the video he directed for "Crystalline," set to premiere this Tuesday on YouTube.

"At the center of it all, of course, is Björk, whose cavernous, emotionally stirring follow-up to 2007's Volta is her most immediate album since 2001's Vespertine," writes Lipshutz in the cover story.

On the live performance front, due to popular demand, with all six of the originally scheduled Biophilia shows at Reykjavik's Harpa Concert Hall now fully sold out, two additional shows have been added at the end of the run: October 31 and November 3. For more information and tickets, visit harpa.is.

To pre-order the Biophilia album, head to the Nonesuch Store, where you will find all five versions available: on CD in distinct jewel-case and digipak versions; on vinyl; and on two custom-made editions—the Biophilia Manual, which presents the music in a 48-page cloth-bound, thread-sewn hardback book, and the Ultimate Edition, which includes the Manual along with 10 tuning forks, each representing the tone of a track on the album. Both custom-made pieces will be available to pre-order till August 12 only.
