“Crystalline” is the first single from Bjork’s Biophilia, the iPad-inspired multi-media LP that will celebrate “how sound works in nature, exploring the infinite expanse of the universe, from planetary systems to atomic structure.” So if there’s not an app for that already, there will be. Take a listen below.
(via Disco Naïveté)
The track’s out officially 6/30.
Björk will debut more Biophilia over six shows at the Manchester International Festival beginning Thursday. Here via NME.com is the first look at one of her costumes:

no one, absolutely no one, sounds like björk. this is the music of the future.
I’ve always thought Joanna Newsom sounded like Bjork. Occasionally I suppose…in regard to vocal range and delivery.
I agree. This is brilliant pop music. And the last 20 seconds are mindblowing.
BACK TO THE FUTURE !!
My mind is so blown right now!
Really impressed! The percussive “freak out” at the end of the track easily supplants any sonic moment on Volta. This whole album/project/app(?) sounds very ambitious…
Anybody else feel the song was much better before that DnB break at the end?
I can only assume you’ve never heard a Venetian Snares album if you were impressed by that at all. The dude was doing that kind of stuff years ago.

Not sure about Venetian Snares, but the ending is definitely my least favorite part of the song–by *far*.
Some sort of rhythmic break there wasn’t a bad idea in concept, but the execution was pretty awful. The rest of the song is pretty amazing though.
I’m sure lots of people have done it before… some better, some worse. I like it in the context of THIS song. I’m impressed by the whole track not just the end of it.
and aphex twin was doing it years before that….
at the end all I could think of was aphex twin….me likey.
I, overall, really like the song. It definitely takes risks, and you have to admire Bjork for that. Just when the song sounds like another Joga, she picks you up on her dragon and takes you into outer space.
Funny how the ‘music of the future’ sounds the same as it did 15 years ago to me. Will this single be released as a box set?
why the fuck would you call Bjork “pop” music? her music in no way should ever be considered “pop”
get the fuck outta here with that bullshit!
pop is not a bad thing
