Bjork has finally decided to come down from the realms of non-linear noise experiments, to create, in her words "a fun dance album" called Volta. Personally, I was expecting her to release an album of collaborations with Tuvan throat singers, backed by the sounds Greeks smashing plates, and overdubbed with off-kilter oboe chords. But instead Bjork's first single from Volta is "Earth Intruders", produced by Timbaland. It gets a digital release April 9th. You can download the MP3. The full ‘Volta’ track listing is:
Earth Intruders
Wanderlust
Dull Flame of Desire
Innocence
I See Who You Are
Vertebrae by Vertebrae
Pneumonia
Hope
Declare Independence
My Juvenile
And here are the tour dates in the U.S.:
May 02 - New York - Radio City Music Hall
May 5 - New York - United Palace Theater
May 8 - New York - Apollo Theater
May 12 - Chicago - Auditorium Theatre
