More Björk talk + tour dates
Via: Pitchfork
Pitchfork ran the second part of its interview with Björk today, wherein she spoke about her collaboration with Timbaland. A lot of the piece is backstory on how it happened, which has been published in other places already, but there was one especially interesting quote from the interview:
"The first time I met him, he was like, 'So what do you wanna do? You wanna do something weird? Or something like a hit?' And I'm like, 'How can you say that?' I could never work like that-- sort of decide what it is before you even start. And I was like, 'I'm just curious where you and I meet, where is our natural...' You know, if you put together this circle and this circle, where's the natural overlap?
He wanted to do a sort of 'Cry Me a River' kind of track, and I have a different luggage, I listen to 80s indie bands. That to me sounds like [sings] 'Take my Breath Away'. I love when he does rave shit, like really roots synthy stuff, and just humor. I think his stuff, especially with Missy Elliot, there's a lot of humor there, and also taking the piss out of themselves, which is something that maybe people just don't do much. It's pretty rare."
Also noteworthy is that Björk has announced a series of tour dates. If you don't see your city, don't panic. More shows are apparently in the works.
