Björk Talks Volta, Adorably

Footage and interview from the Volta studio sessions and photo shoot. She had us at "Hello"! Someone should dress like this for the Of Montreal show this weekend.

Most revealing for Björk heads is her comment towards the end, saying that, for Volta, she wanted "plucked strings instruments" that sounded "like the ocean ... but more dirty sounding than when I did, for example, Verspertine; (then) they were all very clean ... they were all very celestial, like the music that happens in heaven or something. And this time around I didn't want to go for that, area ... Kind of going for something more, pagan."

Is it just me, or is her accent getting thicker?
