Icelandic artist Björk is back with her highly anticipated eighth studio album, ‘Vulnicura,'out via POD through Inertia.

'Vulnicura’ is Björk’s first release since the 2011 album and multimedia project ‘Biophilia,’ and was written, produced and recorded in collaboration with Venezuelan producer Arca and British musician The Haxan Cloak.

Of the album, Björk stated on her Facebook page: “I guess I found in my lap one year into writing it a complete heartbreak album. I was kind of surprised how thoroughly I had documented this in pretty much accurate emotional chronology…. like 3 songs before a break up and three after.”

The album contains nine tracks, six are written by Björk with two co-written with Arca and one co-written with Spaces. Six songs are produced by Björk and Arca, one by Björk, Arca and The Haxan Cloak and two by Björk. One track features vocals from Antony Hegarty (of Antony & The Johnsons), and all string arrangements are by Björk.
