Ook Björk komt met muziek. Niet alles vind ik goed van haar maar ben wel benieuwd!
Björk has revealed her next album will be released in 2027, as well as more insights into its production
The Icelandic star clarified some details around her upcoming solar eclipse rave theme “Echolalia” and the previously confirmed “in-development” follow-up to her 2022 LP ‘Fossara’ in an Instagram statement on Monday, 13th April. While Björk reiterated that she is working on new album material, she shut down rumors that the LP will share the same title as her August festival in Víðistaðatún.
“I saw all your comments and wanted to massage out a potential misunderstanding that has been floating around: Echolalia is not the title of my next album”, Björk wrote. “It is an umbrella-exhibition-name. An umbrella that gives 2 of my ‘Fossora’ songs the treatment I always dreamed of, and some new music.”
She continued: “I always wanted to put ‘Ancestress’ and ‘Sorrowful Soil’ into a room, spatial situation? Those songs didn’t seem like live songs, the kind best experienced in private with many speakers. And with Andy Huang’s and Viðar Logi’s visuals of course. We re-recorded the choir and have textile scores to be enjoyed too.”
Björk announced there would be new music as part of this exhibition, too, with the eventual final version to be included on her next album, set for 2027. She wanted to inform fans planning to buy rave tickets she will not be releasing the new music ahead of the eclipse event.
“I know it is a long time, but 5 years passed between my last 2 albums and I enjoyed that enormously”, ◊ wrote. “I seem to spend longer every time in the world-building and it is extremely satisfying to align all the different elements (how equilibrian of me !)”
