As previously reported, Björk will be releasing her sixth full-length album, Volta, May 7 via One Little Indian/Atlantic. Pitchfork's Brandon Stosuy was lucky enough to nab an exclusive interview with the Icelandic sensation and be the first to speak with her about the album. By clicking the link above, you'll be directed to what's the first in a series of excerpts from their talk. Stosuy and Björk talk at length about rhythm, but it's this final quote that's the most memorable:
"I mean, the human race, we are a tribe, let's face it, and let's stop all this religious bullshit. I think everybody, or at least a lot of my friends, are just so exhausted with this whole self-importance of religious people. Just drop it. We're all fucking animals, so let's just make some universal tribal beat. We're pagan. Let's just march. "
