Björk Says New Album Is Her 'Tinder Record'
By Sam Sodomsky.
Yesterday, Björk announced that her new album would be “coming out very soon.” While little is known about the upcoming release, Björk has revealed in a new interview with Dazed that it will be her “Tinder record.” She goes on to explain that the album is “about being in love. Spending time with a person you enjoy on every level is obviously utopia.” She adds, “I mean, it’s real. It’s when the dream becomes real.” Comparing it to her previous album, 2015’s Vulnicura, she said, “I set myself up with the last album being a heartbreak album, so everyone’s gonna be like, ‘Are you married?’ with this one. But... it’s too fragile still. I think, if I could, I’d just say this is my dating album. Let’s just leave it there.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Björk discusses her continuing collaboration with Arca as the “strongest musical relationship [she’s] had,” comparing it to Joni Mitchell’s records with Jaco Pastorius in the ’70s. The article also reveals that video artist Andrew Thomas Huang—who directed the Vulnicura clips for “[Family](http://pitchfork.com/news/58862-bjork-shares-family-visual/),” “Stonemilker,” and “Black Lake”—is working on a new video for her song “The Gate,” featuring “a bespoke dress designed by Gucci’s Alessandro Michele and a headpiece by regular collaborator James Merry.” The interview also features questions from Mitski, Michel Gondry, the Haxan Cloak, Jenny Hval, Eileen Myles, and more. Björk’s Dazed cover is on sale today.
