Björk and Arca are at work on the follow up to last year’s ‘Vulnicura’.
In a new interview with comedian Julia Davis in AnOther Magazine, Björk explains that the pair have three tracks done so far, describing the process as “Utopia”.
“I’m writing my next thing,” Björk explains. “I’m still allowing myself to be a submarine; I don’t totally have the view of it yet. It’s funny, each album is different for me. Like, what comes first? With this one it’s maybe the melodies. This is very abstract, but the melodies have a similar kind of shape. But it’s really early on, and I don’t even know if I should say, but I have got three songs down with Alejandro [Ghersi, a.k.a. Arca], who I worked with on the last album [Vulnicura]. The last album, we sort of call it “hell” – it was like divorce! So we are doing paradise now. Utopia. We have done hell, we have earned some points.
