Bjork is eyeing a late August release date for her next Elektra album, "Medulla." The set is tipped to feature contributions from experimental electronic duo Matmos and Japanese beatboxer Dokaka. A handful of cryptic audio samples from the album can be heard on Bjork's official Web site.

"Medulla" will be the follow-up to 2001's "Vespertine," which debuted at No. 19 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 368,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

In other news, the planned release of "Singles Boxed Set" has been pushed back indefinitely. The collection was tipped to have featured all the material from 19 different singles. "We do not see it yet on the release horizon," says Bjork's Web site.

As for the album cover - Björk will yet again be teaming up with the team of M/M (Paris) (aka Mathias Augustyniak and Michaël Amzalag) and Inez/Vinoodh (aka Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin) for the album artwork.

OH YES!

It's about damn time!




ps- I'm glad the singles thinger has been pushed back. I've had enough of her damn compilations for a while

i have SO been jonesing for some new bjork stuff. i can do without the singles box...i'd much rather have a two or three disc set with all the material on it and a cd-booklet with the singles' artwork than have to spend a buncha $$$ for a big clunky box full of stuff i probably won't listen to all that much in such a fragmented format.

Can't wait!!!!

"MEDULLA OBLONGATA!"

I can't wait!!!

i am so excited, i just cant hide it, i think i'm going to lose control and i think i like it.....

Bjork and her stunning videos. yeaaaaa.

Björk

Can't wait!!
