Having released a snippet of forthcoming single ‘Crystalline’ a few weeks back, Björk has now made the Biophillia track available to stream in full via Disco Naïveté as well as the YouTube clip below. Swelling with bell chimes, generated percussion and Björk’s unmistakably unique vocals the song begins in a delicate and sparse manner before a brief flirtation with incredibly heavy drums and synthesisers.

An album/multimedia project, Biophillia will not just be released as a conventional album but via the iPad as an “app album” with each app corresponding to a specific song. The Icelandic songstress has also commissioned not one, but two new instruments to be invented for the album, which along with everything else, means that her Manchester residency starting today (27 June) is going to be nothing short of breath taking.
