Bjork collaboration with Mike Patton

"Instruments are so over," says
Bjork of her new, purely vocal
album, Medulla, due out late
August/early September.

"I think this was probably the most
intuitive album I've done," she
continues. "I had to use
ingredients that I trusted, like my
voice, my muscles, my bones. I
couldn't really use all the other
stuff."

Rahzel of the Roots -- known as
"the Human Beatbox" -- supplies the
percussive bass line for a majority
of the songs, and the album also
features collaborations with Inuit
throat-singer Tanya Tagaq and
former Faith No More frontman Mike
Patton. The sound is primitive,
full of brooding menace on "Where
Is the Line" and soaring, breathy
romance on "The Pleasure Is All Mine."

Following Medulla's release, Bjork
will continue working in the studio
rather than go on tour.

"Every album I've done, the minute
that it's done, I feel really
lubricated and, like, 'Wow, now I
can write an album in five
minutes,'" she says. "And I just
want to find out if that's just a
fantasy or if it's true."

track 'me julie'

bjork has apparently the widest gash in iceland and it`s not
uncommon for seals to pop their heads out from time to time.

Her last two albums were amazing so I'm looking forward to
this, despite the fact that it sounds weird.

which do you class as her last two albums?
i only ask, because some people don't count selmasongs.

this sounds awesome!

has anyone heard mike patton and rahzel's live shows? it's
incredible how he keeps up the beatbox for so long and it
really sounds like drums.

i'm looking forward to hearing this. i don't have any bjork
albums...

This does indeed sound like it will be an essential thing to
get.

Yeah I think she is making an album that uses voices only...
like for a high-hat, she would be singing the tz sound and
for a bass she would be singing m's

Then for a snare drum she would be rolling her tounge and
making fracative noise..... There would be a lot of
onomatopeias (sp?) from all around the world like
"Zacepijebeemtimamuuuuuuuuuuu" from Croatian etc.

of course a voice can be used AS an instrument..

but to me, its all sound anyway; analogue, digital,
electric, acoustic - doesnt matter how it's made.

I was referring to Homogenic and Vespertine. I haven't
heard Selmasongs, though I'd like to

vespertine is beautiful. some of her most delicately crafted
songs on there.

but for some reason homogenic is my favourite. i think it's
the contrast of the strings with mark bell's beats &
production.

selmasongs is good for what it is, but it doesn't come close
to her last two "proper" LPs.

for me, at least..
