Who wrote Björk’s 2001 album Vespertine? If you’ve been reading the Icelandic star’s press in the last seven years you may have mistakenly believed that engineer/programmer Valgeir Sigurðsson was responsible. But according to this post on Björk’s website on Friday, Sigurðsson’s role in the making of the album has been vastly inflated. The issue has prompted Björk to post a list of credits for the album, which can be downloaded here.

Björk has also issued a four-point bulletin on why she thinks the involvement of Sigurðsson has been so overstated. She begins by pointing out that critics may not be aware of the difference between engineering, producing, programming, and writing. But she also believes that “some degree of sexism” could be involved, offering Pitchfork’s belief that Diplo had produced all of M.I.A.’s Kala as a similar example.

“It feels like still today after all these years people cannot imagine that woman can write, arrange or produce electronic music,” she says. And she may have a point. Björk also cites further errors on Pitchfork’s reporting of Vespertine and says she hopes to spark “a positive input into more discussion about this.” [Stereogum]
