Icelandic singer-songwriter will launch a podcast series devoted entirely to her expansive catalog. Björk: Sonic Symbolism will offer fans a first-person deep dive into Björk’s creative process, with each episode focusing on a single album across her four-decade career. Along the way, the singer will be joined in conversation by philosopher and writer Oddný Eir and musicologist Ásmundur Jónsson as she revisits the inspirations and emotional milestones that helped form her body of work.

The series will launch September 1 with the first three episodes, covering 1993’s Debut, 1995’s Post (which comes in at 289 on Rolling Stone‘s list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time) and 1997’s Homogenic (which is ranked 202).

“When I get asked about the differences of the music of my albums, I find it quickest to use visual short cuts. That’s kind of why my album covers are almost like homemade tarot cards. The image on the front might seem like just a visual moment, but for me it is simply describing the sound of it,”
“Perhaps you can call it some sort of a sonic symbolism? Most of us go through phases in our lives that take roughly 3 years, and it is not a coincidence this is also how long it takes to make an album or a film. This podcast is an experiment to capture which moods, timbres, and tempos were vibrating during each of these phases.”

She's feeding us so much this era... I'm so excited to listen to this, the way she talks about her own work is so magical.

Yes, according to the icons on this website - https://pod.link/bjork Spotify and Apple Podcasts (not in the Music app because they have a separate app for podcasts)

Love this! Wish Madonna made something like this too! Imagine podcast on Erotica?

This Bjork’s podcast will be amazing, I’m sure.
