Bjork

I just picked up Bjork's new album, Medulla, and its quite possibly the coolest album I've ever come across (but I've been a Bjork fan since her sugarcube days, so I'm a bit biased). if you haven't heard about Medulla yet (or what makes it uniquely unique) Wired had this description.



I guess I wouldn't have brought this up here except that I just went to the website for the album and found that it was really engaging (unlike most other artist sites) and good for a diversion.

There was a really good article on Bjork in the New Yorker from two or three months ago (by Alex... someone or other). Lots about musical traditions in Iceland (lots of choral stuff) and influences on her music and art.

I think you mean this article.

That's not the article from the magazine, more like a sidebar -- interesting, but not the article. The actual thing was fairly long (~10 pages?) and accompanied by a simple but striking photograph of Bjork. I don't remember if it was one of Richard Avedon's (RIP).
