CRYING, SHAKING, FAINTING

Every day, having a new Björk album in our hands seems to be an ever-increasing reality as opposed to something vaguely promised and then prolonged for all time. Don't get us wrong, the idea of a new B LP fills us with so much excitement we've just blacked out and are typing this with our unconscious foreheads. BUT. What we really want - or at least, really want AS WELL as an album of new material - is a TOUR. We are literally DYING to see Björk live. We're in luck:

Hopefully I will be able to be on tour in the fall," she said.

She also said she was wary of giving too many details about the album away, adding: "I have had some bad experiences with a number of things before. I'm very superstitious. I go into the studio with a plan to go do what I have in mind, and then the idea is half dead."

The singer revealed one of her new songs is inspired by experiences she'd had after attending a conference organised by National Geographic magazine.

"I saw 100 talks and met eccentric people who had been in Africa for four years with lions and insects," she said. "Then one night after drinking whiskey with them I began to hear stories. This is one of the collaborations I can talk about."
