SummersRadio™ Music News! Bjork! Well yesterday we featured a teaser video from Grandaddy and today we have not one, but two teaser video's from Iceland's Bjork! Bjork's seventh studio album is called 'Biophilia' and is going to be the world's first 'app album' - a collaboration with Apple that will be released via 10 iPad apps! Thus far there is no confirmed date for a physical release of the album - although the first single 'Crystalline' is schedule for release on June 30th.
Bjork will be performing songs from the album at a series of concerts in Manchester between June 22nd and July 16th. The performances will include special instruments designed specifically for the shows, including "custom-built digitally controlled pipe organs, a gamelan-celeste hybrid and a 30-foot pendulum that harnesses the planet's gravitational pull to create musical patterns." Not your run of the mill rock show then - but then Bjork has never settled for ordinary.
This first teaser video is entitled 'Road To Crystalline' and it features Bjork driving down the highway listening to a portion of the first single 'Crystalline'... Enjoy!
This second teaser video was released online today just a few hours ago and is called 'Gameleste' - and it features the specially designed gameland-celeste hybrid. A gameland is a set of instruments built together as one unit that usually features xylophones, flutes, gongs and strings - and a celeste is somewhat similar to a piano. This is 'Gameleste'... Enjoy!
It looks like these instruments will be as exciting to watch on stage as Bjork herself! I will of course post full songs when they become available - and that's enough 'teasing' for this week - my next post will contain only a full song (or songs) - Cheers!
