Björks „Cover Mix“ für Mixmag

Am 24. November veröffentlicht Björk ihr schon zehntes Album mit dem Namen „Utopia“. Im Zuge der dazu gehörenden Promo hat sie für das Mixmag den aktuellen Cover Mix aufgenommen und der ist – wie zu erwarten – sehr speziell. Ambient, experimentell, teilweise klassisch und auch ein bisschen brutal geht es da zur Sache. Ganz Björk eben. Nichts für schwache Nerven.

To celebrate Björk’s Mixmag December cover, she’s recorded an exclusive studio mix.

We’ll let the music speak for itself, but here’s a message from Björk herself:
