Vinyl)(w/Download)($28.98) ALBUM FACTS Genre: Pop Producers: Bjork Radio Formats: college | AAA | AAA non comm | modern rock specality Packaging Specs: Softpak with 24 page booklet and sticker. Focus Markets: New York, NY, Los Angeles, CA, SF-Okland-San Jose, Chicago, IL, Boston, MA, Seattle-Tacoma, WA, Philadelphia, PA, Washington, DC, Denver, CO Description: "What I always wanted to do was to reconnect musicology with nature," Icelandic composer and performer Björk recently told the New York Times. "I always wanted to make bass lines behave like gravity." Biophilia is the Icelandic singer and composer's most ambitious undertaking in a 20-year career distinguished by continuous innovation and artistic evolution. The album title refers to a love of all living things, and in every aspect of this game-changing multi-media effort, Björk brilliantly connects nature, music, and technology. In addition to the music itself, this project will offer interactive iPad apps, designed by the industry's most creative minds, that feature games, music, and editorial content-allowing listeners to explore more deeply the concepts and sounds of each of Biophilia's 13 songs. The artistic and technological reach of Biophilia is nothing short of visionary. As New York Times critic Jon Pareles has put it, "Biophilia is a possible paradigm for the 21st-century album, one that welcomes the interactivity of the Internet and harnesses the power and flexibility of devices that incorporate video, audio and user control far beyond the play button." Media artist and chief Biophilia apps designer Scott Snibbe, enthuses, "To me, it feels like the birth of opera or the birth of cinema." At the core of this groundbreaking project, of course, are Björk's sonically brilliant and emotionally stirring new songs, akin to the magical, otherworldly, atavistic hymns of her acclaimed 2001 disc, Vespertine. On Vespertine, Björk rhapsodized about a new romance; here, she attempts nothing less than to retell the story of the creation of the universe in her own compellingly idiosyncratic voice.

Björk plans to take up multiple-week residencies in eight cities around the world over the next three years, choosing unique and relatively intimate venues for twice-weekly concerts. Both for the recording and for these concerts, she has, along with Volta producer-engineer Damian Taylor, conceived and fabricated a set of one-of-a-kind instrumentation, steam-punk-worthy devices that combine the handmade with the high-tech and expand upon Biophilia's natural/technological theme, including lightning-bolt-producing and sound-triggering Tesla coils, giant swinging pendulums called "gravity harps," and a celeste outfitted with Balinese gamelan pipes she has dubbed a "gameleste." Main house app "Cosmogony" is currently available with two of the nine: "Crystalline" and "Virus" - HERE Third app being released 9/6: "Moon" Full app suite available 9/27 No popular artist has ever attempted a project of such scope - but Björk regards all of this in a much simpler way, tackling the story of the universe in the most down-to-earth terms: "I would rather call it folk music-folk music of our time. I was never too much into...the whole pop thing - it felt a bit superficial. I prefer folk. People. Humans." Björk has already released a series of remixes for the advance singles, "Crystalline" and "Cosmology," as well as an old-fashioned animated video of "Crystalline," directed by frequent collaborator Michel Gondry. She has also refashioned her website to provide a glimpse of the world that Biophilia apps users will discover. She tentatively plans to begin a residency in New York City in early 2012. © 2011 Warner Elektra Atlantic Corporation | Terms of Use | Privacy Policy Last Update: 08/17/11 ARTIST: Bjork TITLE: Biophilia (2LP 180 Gram Vinyl)(w/Download) Label: NON/Nonesuch Config & Selection #: A 528477 Street Date: 10/11/11 Order Due Date: 09/21/11 UPC: 075597964349 Full Length Box Count: 30 Vinyl Unit Per Set: 2 SRP: $28.98 Alphabetize Under: B OTHER EDITIONS: For the latest up to date info on CD:075597964080 Biophilia($18.98) this release visit WEA.com.
