New Music: Björk - Vulnicura LP
Björk has surprise dropped her new album today, two months earlier than planned.. Well. Talk about a treat for Hump Day. Two months ahead of its original release date (in a note on Facebook last week, Icelandic musician Björk told us she'd be releasing the album in March), Björk has released her album Vulnicura on iTunes today, rolling it out over 24 hours. It's her first album in four years, following 2011's Biophilia. The early than announced digital release is most likely in response to the fact that it leaked over the weekend (although, unlike Madonna, she didn't go so far as to call the leak "artistic rape"). Vulnicura notably features co-production with our favourite New York Venuzualen Arca, producer for Twigs and Yeezus.

Arca makes a f*&ked-up club animal out of Shakira's pop mega-hit.. Before he was one of Kanye West's zeitgest Yeezy producers, before he was manning the boards for FKA Twigs, New York-Venezuelan buzz-producer Arca used to do some mad re-edits of classic R & B jams. I still bump his loopy, pitched-up-vocal take on Aaliyah's Are You Dat Somebody, so I was pretty pleased to see this fun Shakira cover crop up, tailing Arca's recent full length release, Xen. Arca messes up the pop princess real good, with a bunch of warped samples and glitchy percussion, somehow turning the original Columbian rhythms into a Middle Eastern sounding jam. Arca recently debuted a live show at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, where he performed an hour of original material, singing and dancing against a backdrop of sexual imagery, wearing sequinned, thigh-high boots and a bondage crop top. At the end of the show, he received a standing ovation from none other than audience member Bjork, who he's r
Album Review: Arca - Xen
"What’s pretty bloody genius about it, though, is its continuity."
