Bjork - Utopia

The new album from Grammy-nominated Icelandic artist Björk

"Utopia prizes airiness: the breath that powers voices and flutes; the atmosphere where birds fly; structures and tempos that change freely rather than being locked to a beat. ... it's the latest iteration of Bjork's career-long fascination with how nature and technology can interact." — New York Times

Björk's new album features artwork by Jesse Kanda, who has previously designed cover art for FKA Twigs and fellow Björk collaborator Arca.

In a statement on Instagram, Björk expressed gratitude for the artists who worked on the album artwork, including Arca, James Merry, and Berlin-based drag artist Hungry: "thank you for telepathically getting me !!" she writes. In a separate post, Arca shared reflections on the album, saying, "this album truly carries a piece of utopia for me — one that is already smilingly real."
